5 said to David, ‘You will not get in here.’ Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion – which is the City of David.
6 David had said, ‘Whoever leads the attack on the Jebusites will become commander-in-chief.’ Joab son of Zeruiah went up first, and so he received the command.
7 David then took up residence in the fortress, and so it was called the City of David.
8 He built up the city around it, from the terraces to the surrounding wall, while Joab restored the rest of the city.
9 And David became more and more powerful, because the Lord Almighty was with him.
10 These were the chiefs of David’s mighty warriors – they, together with all Israel, gave his kingship strong support to extend it over the whole land, as the Lord had promised –
11 this is the list of David’s mighty warriors:Jashobeam, a Hakmonite, was chief of the officers; he raised his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed in one encounter.
