4 Later, David and all of Israel marched to Jerusalem (then known as Jebus, where the Jebusites lived when they inhabited the land).

5 The inhabitants of Jebus told David, |You're not coming in here!| Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion, now known as the City of David.

6 David had announced, |Whoever first attacks the Jebusites will be appointed chief and commander.| When Zeruiah's son Joab went up first, he became chief.
