New Testament

1 Chronicles 11:4-9 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

4. Then David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus, for there the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of that land.

5. And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not enter here. Nevertheless, David took the fortress of Zion, which is the city of David.

6. And David said, Whoever smites the Jebusites first shall be head and prince. So Joab, the son of Zeruiah, went up first and was made the head.

7. And David dwelt in the fortress; therefore, they called it the city of David.

8. And he built the city round about, even from Millo round about, and Joab restored the rest of the city.

9. So David waxed greater and greater, for the Lord of the hosts was with him.
