⁷ Just the same, David proceeded to capture the stronghold of Zion,+ that is, the City of David.+

3 And Sol′o·mon proceeded to form a marriage alliance+ with Phar′aoh the king of Egypt and to take Phar′aoh’s daughter+ and bring her to the City of David,+ until he finished building his own house+ and the house of Jehovah+ and Jerusalem’s wall all around.+

⁴³ Then Sol′o·mon lay down with his forefathers,+ and was buried in the City of David+ his father; and Re·ho·bo′am+ his son began to reign in place of him.

⁷ And David took up dwelling in the place difficult to approach.+ That is why they called it the City of David.+

²⁹ “Men, brothers, it is allowable to speak with freeness of speech to YOU concerning the family head David, that he both deceased+ and was buried and his tomb is among us to this day.
