“And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it the city of David.”
“And David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore they called it the city of David. ”
“David lived in the stronghold; therefore they called it the city of David.”
“David lived in the fortress; for this reason it is called the City of David.”
“And David dwelt in the castle, and therefore it was called the city of David,”
“And David took the strong tower for his living-place, so it was named the town of David.”
“And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it the city of David.”
Then David and all of Israel went to Jerusalem. The same is Jebus, where the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were.
And those who were living in Jebus said to David: “You shall not enter here.” But David seized the stronghold of Zion, which is the city of David.
And he said, “Whoever shall strike the Jebusites first, shall be ruler and commander.” And so Joab, the son of Zeruiah, ascended first, and he was made the leader.
Then David lived in the stronghold, and for this reason it was called the City of David.
And he built up the city all around, from Millo even to every side. But Joab built the rest of the city.
And David continued advancing and increasing, and the Lord of hosts was with him.
These are the leaders of the strong men of David, who assisted him, so that he would become king over all of Israel, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke to Israel.
