6. David said, “The first man to kill a Jebusite will be commander of the army!” Joab, whose mother was Zeruiah, led the attack and became commander.
7. Because David went to live in the fortress, it came to be called “David's City”.
8. He rebuilt the city, starting at the place where land was filled in on the east side of the hill, and Joab restored the rest of the city.
9. David grew stronger and stronger, because the Lord Almighty was with him.
