¹Then all Israel gathered to David at Hebron and said, "Behold, we are your bone and your flesh. ²Previously, even when Saul was king, you were the one who led out and brought in Israel; and Yahweh your God said to you, ‘You will shepherd My people Israel, and you will be a ruler over My people Israel.'" ³So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David cut a covenant with them in Hebron before Yahweh; then they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of Yahweh through Samuel. ⁴Then David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there. ⁵Then the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, "You shall not come in here." Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion, that is, the city of David. ⁶And David said, "Whoever strikes down a Jebusite first shall be chief and commander." Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, so he became chief. ⁷Then David lived in the stronghold; therefore it was called the city of David. ⁸And he built the city all around, from the Millo even to the surrounding area; and Joab repaired the rest of the city. ⁹And David became greater and greater, and Yahweh of hosts was with him.
