4 Then David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, that is, Jebus, where the inhabitants of the land were called Jebusites. 5 The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You shall not enter here.” David nevertheless captured the fortress of Zion, which is the City of David. 6 David said, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be made chief and captain.” Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was the first to attack; and so he became chief. 1 Chronicles 11:4-6, New American Bible Revised.
