1 Chronicles 11:6-9

Context
11:6 1  David said, “Whoever attacks 2  the Jebusites first will become commanding general!” 3  So Joab son of Zeruiah attacked 4  first and became commander. 5  11:7 David lived in the fortress; for this reason it is called the City of David. 11:8 He built up the city around it, from the terrace to the surrounding walls; 6  Joab restored the rest of the city. 11:9 David’s power steadily grew, for the Lord who commands armies was with him. 7
