1 Chronicles 11:7

Compare all

5 But the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You shall not come in here!” Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion (that is, the City of David).

6 Now David said, “Whoever attacks the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain.” And Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and became chief.

7 Then David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore they called it¹ the City of David.

8 And he built the city around it, from¹ the Millo to the surrounding area. Joab repaired the rest of the city.

9 So David ^awent on and became great, and the Lord of hosts was with ^bhim.

1 Chronicles 11:6-8

The narrative here given fills out a manifest defect in II Samuel 5:8 where something has evidently dropped out of the text.

The prowess of Joab on this occasion, and the part which he took in the building of the city of David I Chronicles 11:8, are known to us only from this passage of Chronicles.
