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.

24 However, Pharʹaoh’s daughter+ herself came up out of the City of David+ to her own house that he had built for her. It was then that he built the Mound.+

27 And this is the reason why he lifted up his hand against the king: Solʹo·mon himself had built the Mound.*+ He had closed up the gap of the City of David his father.+

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.+
