2 Samuel 5:9-11 ▼

9 So David lived in the stronghold and called it the City of David. And he built all around [the surrounding area] from the Millo [fortification] and inward.

10 David became greater and greater, for the LORD, the God of hosts (armies), was with him.

11 Now Hiram the king of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar trees, carpenters, and stonemasons; and they built a house (palace) for David.
