1 Chronicles 11:7 in Context — 1 Chronicles 11

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.

9 E Davi ia cada vez mais crescendo em poder, pois o SENHOR dos exércitos era com ele.
