And Dauid & all Israel, went to Ierusalem, which is Iebus, where the Iebusites were the inhabitants of the land.

And the inhabitants of Iebus said to Dauid, Thou shalt not come hither. Neuerthelesse Dauid tooke the castle of Zion, which is the citie of Dauid.

And Dauid said, Whosoeuer smiteth the Iebusites first, shall be chiefe, and captaine. So Ioab the sonne of Zeruiah went first vp, and was chiefe.

And Dauid dwelt in the castell: therefore they called it the citie of Dauid.

And he built the citie round about, euen from Millo round about: and Ioab repaired the rest of the citie.

So Dauid waxed greater and greater: for the Lord of hostes was with him.
