Context — David Conquers Jerusalem
3So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, where David made a covenant with them before the LORD. And they anointed him king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD through Samuel.
4Then David and all the Israelites marched to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus), where the Jebusites inhabited the land.
5The people of Jebus said to David, “You will never get in here.” Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion (that is, the City of David).
6Now David had said, “Whoever is the first to strike down a Jebusite will become chief commander.” And Joab son of Zeruiah went up first, and he became the chief. 7So David took up residence in the fortress; that is why it was called the City of David.Cross References

1 Chronicles 11:5 Summary
In 1 Chronicles 11:5, we see that the people of Jebus thought they could keep David out, but he trusted in God and captured the fortress of Zion. This shows us that with faith in God, we can overcome even the toughest challenges, just like David did. As it says in Psalm 37:3-4, when we trust in God and do good, He will give us the desires of our heart. We can learn from David's example to trust in God's power and promises, just as He did, and to have courage in the face of adversity, as seen in Joshua 1:9.
Frequently Asked Questions
What was the significance of the fortress of Zion in 1 Chronicles 11:5?
The fortress of Zion, also known as the City of David, was a strategic location that David captured, which became the capital of Israel, as prophesied in 2 Samuel 5:7 and fulfilled in 1 Kings 8:1.
Why did the people of Jebus think they could defeat David?
The people of Jebus thought they could defeat David because they were confident in the strength of their fortress, but they underestimated David's faith and God's power, as seen in Psalm 20:7 and 1 Samuel 17:45-47.
What can we learn from David's faith in this verse?
We can learn that with faith in God, even the most seemingly impossible tasks can be accomplished, as seen in Matthew 17:20 and Mark 11:23, and that trusting in God's power and promises is essential for overcoming challenges.
How does this event relate to the larger story of David's life?
This event marks a significant milestone in David's life, as it shows his transition from being a leader of a small group to becoming the king of Israel, fulfilling the prophecy in 1 Samuel 16:13 and setting the stage for his future reign in 2 Samuel 2:4.
Reflection Questions
- What are the 'strongholds' in my life that I feel are impenetrable, and how can I apply David's faith to overcome them?
- How can I, like David, trust in God's power and promises when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges?
- What are some areas in my life where I need to trust God to give me victory, just as He gave David victory over the Jebusites?
- In what ways can I, like Joab, be a faithful and courageous follower of God, willing to take risks and trust in His power?
Gill's Exposition on 1 Chronicles 11:5
[See comments on 1 Chronicles 11:1]
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 11:5
And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, which is the city of David. No JFB commentary on this verse.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 11:5
1 Chronicles 11:5 And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, which [is] the city of David. 1 Chronicles 11:6 And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief. Ver. 5,6. See 2 Samuel 5:6-8.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 11:5
(5) Thou shalt not come hither.—A jeer. (Comp. 2 Samuel 5:6.) “And one spake unto David, saying, Thou shalt not come in hither. The blind and the lame will have kept thee out!” The Jebusites trusted in the strength of their fortress. Even the weakest defence would be sufficient to repel David’s assault.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 11:5
5. Thou shalt not come hither] A longer speech of defiance is given in 2 Samuel 5:6 (see R.V. mg.) in which the Jebusites assert that their city is so strong by nature that a garrison of blind and lame is sufficient for its defence. the castle of Zion] R.V. the strong hold of Zion. The site of this (afterwards “the city of David”) is on the S.E. of the present city, on the S. of the Haram (the Temple area), and on a level lower than that of the Haram (Socin-Benzinger in Bädeker, p. 22; Sir C. Wilson in Smith’s Bible Dict. ed. 2, “Jerusalem,” p. 1648). For the less probable view that the stronghold of Zion was on the S.W. of the present city see C. R. Conder in Hastings’ Bible Dict., Art. “Jerusalem,” vol. ii. p. 591.
