Neuerthelesse Dauid tooke the castle of Zion, which is the citie of Dauid. 6And Dauid said, Whosoeuer smiteth the Iebusites first, shall be chiefe, and captaine. So Ioab the sonne of Zeruiah went first vp, and was chiefe. 7And Dauid dwelt in the castell: therefore they called it the citie of Dauid. 8And he built the citie round about, euen from Millo round about: and Ioab repaired the rest of the citie.
