4 Então Davi e todo Israel foram a Jerusalém, a qual era Jebus, pois ali os jebuseus eram os moradores daquela terra.
5 E os moradores de Jebus disseram a Davi: Tu não entrarás aqui.Porém Davi conquistou a fortaleza de Sião, que é a cidade de Davi.
6 (Pois Davi havia dito: O primeiro a derrotar aos jebuseus será chefe e comandante.Então Joabe, filho de Zeruia, subiu primeiro, e foi feito comandante.)
7 E Davi habitou na fortaleza; por isso que foi chamada de cidade de Davi.
8 E ele edificou a cidade ao redor, desde as fundações do aterro ao redor; e Joabe reparou o resto da cidade.
