So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward.
David took up residence in the stronghold he had just captured at Jebus. That Jebus was a fortified Canaanite position occupying Mount Zion and Mount Moriah. Its capture had been led by Joab. After taking it David called it the city of David and built up the district from Millo inward. Under the name Jerusalem this captured fortress became the national capital of Israel.
