David resided in the stronghold; therefore it was called the city of David.
8
He built the city all around, from the Millo in complete circuit; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.
9
And David became greater and greater, for the Lord of hosts was with him.
10
Now these are the chiefs of David's warriors, who gave him strong support in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the Lord concerning Israel.
