2 Samuel 5:9-11 ▼

9 David occupied the fortress, naming it the City of David. He built up the surroundings from the terrace ramparts inward.

10 David became more and more esteemed because the LORD God of the Heavenly Armies was with him.

11 Later, King Hiram of Tyre sent a delegation to David, accompanied by cedar logs, carpenters, and stone masons. They built a palace for David.
