The Conquest of Jerusalem

1 Chronicles 11:4-9

And Dauid and all Israel went to Ierusalem, which is Iebus, where were the Iebusites, the inhabitants of the land.

And the inhabitants of Iebus said to Dauid, Thou shalt not come in hither. Neuertheles Dauid tooke the towre of Zion, which is the city of Dauid.

And Dauid sayd, Whosoeuer smiteth the Iebusites first, shalbe the chiefe and captaine. So Ioab the sonne of Zeruiah went first vp, and was captaine.

And Dauid dwelt in the tower: therefore they called it the citie of Dauid.

And he built the citie on euery side, from Millo euen round about, and Ioab repaired the rest of the citie.

And Dauid prospered, and grewe: for the Lord of hostes was with him.
