1 Chronicles 11:6-8
New King James Version
6 Now David said, “Whoever attacks the Jebusites first shall be [a]chief and captain.” And Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and became chief. 7 Then David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore they called it [b]the City of David. 8 And he built the city around it, from [c]the Millo to the surrounding area. Joab [d]repaired the rest of the city.
