1 Chronicles 11:5

David's Capture Of Jerusalem

⁴ David and the whole Israelite army advanced to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus). (The Jebusites, the land's original inhabitants, lived there.) ⁵ The residents of Jebus said to David, "You cannot invade this place!" But David captured the fortress of Zion (that is, the City of David). ⁶ David said, "Whoever attacks the Jebusites first will become commanding general!" So Joab son of Zeruiah attacked first and became commander.
