9 And David took up dwelling in the stronghold, and it came to be called the City of David; and David began to build all around from the Mound*+ and inward.

9 Moreover, Uz·ziʹah built towers+ in Jerusalem by the Corner Gate+ and by the Valley Gate+ and by the Buttress, and made them strong.

5 Furthermore, he took courage and built up all the broken-down wall+ and raised towers+ upon it, and on the outside another wall,+ and repaired the Mound*+ of the City of David, and made missiles+ in abundance and shields.+

14 And after this he built an outer+ wall for the City of David+ to the west of Giʹhon+ in the torrent valley and as far as the Fish Gate,+ and he ran [it] around to Oʹphel+ and proceeded to make it very high. Further, he put chiefs of the military force in all the fortified cities in Judah.+
