Contextual Overview

1Then all Israel came together to David at Hebron and said, "Here we are, your own flesh and blood. 2Even in times past, while Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them back. And to you the LORD your God said, 'You will shepherd My people Israel, and you will be ruler over them.'" 3So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, where David made a covenant with them before the LORD. And they anointed him king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD through Samuel. 4Then David and all the Israelites marched to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus), where the Jebusites inhabited the land.5The people of Jebus said to David, "You will never get in here." Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion (that is, the City of David). 6Now David had said, "Whoever is the first to strike down a Jebusite will become chief commander." And Joab son of Zeruiah went up first, and he became the chief. 7So David took up residence in the fortress; that is why it was called the City of David. 8He built up the city around it, from the supporting terraces to the surrounding wall, while Joab restored the rest of the city. 9And David became greater and greater, for the LORD of Hosts was with him.
