4 David and the whole Israelite army advanced to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus). (The Jebusites, the land's original inhabitants, lived there.) 5 The residents of Jebus said to David, |You cannot invade this place!| But David captured the fortress of Zion (that is, the City of David). 6 David said, |Whoever attacks the Jebusites first will become commanding general!| So Joab son of Zeruiah attacked first and became commander. 1 Chronicles 11:4-6, New English Translation.
