Contextual Overview

1And all Israel is gathered to David at Hebron, saying, "Behold, we [are] your bone and your flesh; 2even in time past, even in Saul's being king, it is you who are taking out and bringing in Israel, and your God YHWH says to you: You feed My people Israel, and you are leader over My people Israel." 3And all [the] elderly of Israel come to the king at Hebron, and David makes a covenant with them in Hebron before YHWH, and they anoint David for king over Israel, according to the word of YHWH by the hand of Samuel. 4And David goes, and all Israel, to Jerusalem—it [is] Jebus—and the Jebusite [is] there, the inhabitants of the land.5And the inhabitants of Jebus say to David, "You do not come in here"; and David captures the fortress of Zion—it [is] the City of David. 6And David says, "Whoever strikes the Jebusite first becomes head and prince"; and Joab son of Zeruiah goes up first and becomes head. 7And David dwells in the fortress, therefore they have called it the City of David; 8and he builds the city all around, from Millo, and to the circumference, and Joab restores the rest of the city. 9And David goes, going on and becoming great, and YHWH of Hosts [is] with him.
