Contextual Overview

1 And gathered are all Israel unto David to Hebron, saying, `Lo, thy bone and thy flesh [are] we; 2 even in time past, even in Saul's being king, it is thou who art taking out and bringing in Israel, and Jehovah thy God saith to thee: Thou dost feed My people Israel, and thou art leader over My people Israel.' 3 And all the elders of Israel come in unto the king to Hebron, and David maketh with them a covenant in Hebron before Jehovah, and they anoint David for king over Israel, according to the word of Jehovah by the hand of Samuel. 4 And David goeth, and all Israel, to Jerusalem -- it [is] Jebus -- and there the Jebusite, the inhabitants of the land. 5 And the inhabitants of Jebus say to David, `Thou dost not come in hither;' and David captureth the fortress of Zion -- it [is] the city of David. 6 And David saith, `Whoever smiteth the Jebusite first doth become head and prince;' and go up first doth Joab son of Zeruiah and becometh head. 7 And David dwelleth in the fortress, therefore they have called it, `City of David;' 8 and he buildeth the city round about, from Millo, and unto the circumference, and Joab restoreth the rest of the city. 9 And David goeth, going on and becoming great, and Jehovah of Hosts [is] with him.
