Contextual Overview

6 When the king and his men went to Jerusalem to attack the Jebusites who lived there, the Jebusites said to David, "You can't get inside our city. Even the blind and the crippled can stop you." They thought David could not enter their city. 7 But David did take the city of Jerusalem with its strong walls, and it became the City of David. 8 That day David said to his men, "To defeat the Jebusites you must go through the water tunnel. Then you can reach those ‘crippled' and ‘blind' enemies. This is why people say, ‘The blind and the crippled may not enter the palace.'" 9 So David lived in the strong, walled city and called it the City of David. David built more buildings around it, beginning where the land was filled in. He also built more buildings inside the city. 10 He became stronger and stronger, because the Lord God All-Powerful was with him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Nevertheless, David took the strong hold of Zion,.... A fortress without the city, and separate from it, and which was very strong; and the taking it might facilitate the taking of the city, which yet as appears by what follows, was very difficult to do:

the same [is] the city of David; it was afterwards so called, where he built an house, and dwelt.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The stronghold of Zion - Or castle 1 Chronicles 11:5, 1 Chronicles 11:7. The ancient Zion was the hill on which the temple stood, and the castle seems to have been immediately to the north of the temple. The modern Zion lies to the southwest of the temple.

The same is the city of David - The name afterward given to it 2 Samuel 5:9, and by which it was known in the writer’s time.
