Contextual Overview

1 And all Israel gathered to David, to Hebron, saying, Behold, we are your bone and your flesh. 2 And also in time past, even when Saul was king, you were he that led out and brought in Israel. And Jehovah your God said to you, You shall feed My people Israel, and you shall be ruler over My people Israel. 3 And all the elders of Israel came in to the king at Hebron. And David cut a covenant with them in Hebron before Jehovah. And they anointed David as king over Israel, according to the Word of Jehovah, by the hand of Samuel. 4 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (it is Jebus) and the Jebusites the ones living in the land, were there. 5 And the ones living in Jebus said to David, You shall not come in here. But David captured the fortress of Zion; it is the city of David. 6 And David said, Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall become head and commander. And Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first and became head. 7 And David lived in the fortress; on this account they called it the City of David. 8 And he built the city all around, from Millo even all around. And Joab restored the rest of the city. 9 And David was going on and increasing, for Jehovah of Hosts was with him.
