Then David and his men marched to Jerusalem and captured it from the Jebusites making it his capital. David took up residence in the fortress and called it the city of David. He became increasingly powerful because God was with him and he built a beautiful palace there. There he took more concubines and wives than the 7 he already had and he had many further sons born to him including one called Solomon.
The Philistines came to attack David, but he defeated them twice striking them down from Gibeon to Gezer.
