1 Chronicles 11:5-7
New English Translation
5 The residents of Jebus said to David, “You cannot invade this place!” But David captured the fortress of Zion (that is, the City of David). 6 [a] David said, “Whoever attacks[b] the Jebusites first will become commanding general!”[c] So Joab son of Zeruiah attacked[d] first and became commander.[e] 7 David lived in the fortress; for this reason it is called the City of David.
