Contextual Overview
1 Then all Israel came to David at Hebron and said, "See, we are your bone and your flesh. 2 In times past, even when Saul was king, you were the one who led out and brought in Israel. The Lord your God said to you, ‘You will be the shepherd of My people Israel. And you will be king over My people Israel.'" 3 So all the leaders of Israel came to the king at Hebron. And David made an agreement with them in Hebron before the Lord. Then they poured oil on David to be the king of Israel, just as the Lord had said through Samuel. 4 David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus). And the Jebusites, the people of the land, were there. 5 The people of Jebus said to David, "You will not come in here." But David took the strong-place of Zion (that is, the city of David). 6 Now David had said, "Whoever kills a Jebusite first will be captain and leader." Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, so he became captain. 7 Then David lived in the strong-place. So it was called the city of David. 8 He built the city all around, from the Millo and then around. And Joab built the rest of the city up again. 9 David became greater and greater, for the Lord of All 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.
