1 Chronicles 11:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸ He built up the city around the fort. He filled in the low places. He built a wall around it. During that time, Joab built up the rest of the city. ⁹ David became more and more powerful. That’s because the Lord who rules over all was with him.

David’s Mighty Warriors

¹⁰ The chiefs of David’s mighty warriors and the whole community of Israel helped David greatly. They helped him become king over the entire land. That’s exactly what the Lord had promised him.
