Contextual Overview
1 All the Israelites came to David at the town of Hebron. They said to David, "We are your own flesh and blood. 2 In the past you led us in war. You led us even though Saul was the king. The Lord said to you ‘David, you will be the shepherd of my people, the Israelites. You will become the leader over my people.'" 3 All the leaders of Israel came to King David at the town of Hebron. David made an agreement with them in Hebron before the Lord . The leaders anointed David. That made him king over Israel. The Lord had promised through Samuel that this would happen. 4 David and all the Israelites went to the city of Jerusalem. Jerusalem was called Jebus at that time. The people living in that city were named Jebusites. They 5 said to David, "You cannot get inside our city." But David did defeat them. He took over the fortress of Zion, and it became the City of David. 6 David said, "The one who leads the attack on the Jebusites will become the commander over all my army." So Joab led the attack. He was Zeruiah's son. Joab became the commander of the army. 7 Then David made his home in the fortress. That is why it is named the City of David. 8 David built the city around the fort. He built it from the Millo to the wall around the city. Joab repaired the other parts of the city. 9 David continued to grow greater, and the Lord All-Powerful was with him.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The narrative here given fills out a manifest defect in 2 Samuel 5:8 where something has evidently dropped out of the text.
The prowess of Joab on this occasion, and the part which he took in the building of the city of David 1 Chronicles 11:8, are known to us only from this passage of Chronicles.
