1 Chronicles 11:7-9

International Children’s Bible

⁷ Then David made his home in the strong, walled city. That is why it was named the City of David. ⁸ David rebuilt the city. He started where the land was filled in and went to the wall that was around the city. Joab repaired the other parts of the city. ⁹ David became more and more powerful. And the Lord of heaven’s armies was with him.
