1 Chronicles 11:5-7

EasyEnglish Bible

⁵ The Jebusites said to David, ‘You will never get into our city.’ But David did get in and he took Zion, the city's strong place. It is now called the City of David.

⁶ David had said to his soldiers, ‘The man who attacks the Jebusites first will become the captain of my army.’ Zeruiah's son Joab attacked first. So he became the captain of the army.

⁷ David went to live in the strong place of the city. So people called it ‘The City of David’.
