3 Therefore came all the Ziknei Yisroel to HaMelech to Chevron; and Dovid cut a Brit with them in Chevron before Hashem; and vayimeshechu (they anointed) Dovid Melech over Yisroel, according to the Devar Hashem by Shmuel.
4 And Dovid and Kol Yisroel went to Yerushalayim, which is Yevus; where the Yevusi were, the inhabitants of ha'aretz.
5 And the inhabitants of Yevus said to Dovid, Thou shalt not come in here. Nevertheless Dovid took the Metzudat Tziyon, which is Ir Dovid.
6 And Dovid said, Whosoever attacketh the Yevusi barishonah shall be Rosh and Sar. So Yoav Ben Tzeruyah went up first, and became Rosh.
7 And Dovid dwelt in the Metzad; therefore they called it Ir Dovid.
8 And he built the Ir around it, even from the Millo to the surrounding area, and Yoav repaired the rest of the Ir.
9 So Dovid continued greater and greater, for Hashem Tzva'os was with him.
