Verse 9 is found in chapter 5 of 2 Samuel. David conquers Jerusalem and establishes his center of government there. The city of the Jebusites becomes the City of David, a politically strategic capital that will later become fundamental to Israel’s religious identity. The text attributes David’s growth to the Lord’s presence with him. The conquest is not presented simply as a military achievement, but as part of the consolidation of a kingdom whose center will have enormous importance in later biblical history.
