4And David goeth, and all Israel, to Jerusalem -- it [is] Jebus -- and there the Jebusite, the inhabitants of the land.
5And 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.
6And David saith, `Whoever smiteth the Jebusite first doth become head and prince;` and go up first doth Joab son of Zeruiah and becometh head.
7And David dwelleth in the fortress, therefore they have called it, `City of David;`
8and he buildeth the city round about, from Millo, and unto the circumference, and Joab restoreth the rest of the city.
9And David goeth, going on and becoming great, and Jehovah of Hosts [is] with him.
10And these [are] heads of the mighty ones whom David hath, who are strengthening themselves with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to cause him to reign, according to the word of Jehovah, over Israel.
