1 Chronicles
David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, and David took the stronghold of Zion, identified as the city of David (1 Chronicles 11:4–5). The account also notes Joab became chief after going up first in the attack (1 Chronicles 11:6).
4David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (the same is Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.
5The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, You shall not come in here. Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion; the same is the city of David.
6David said, Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made chief.
