That is not so. But a man from the mountains of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has lifted up his hand against the king, against David. Deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. So the woman said to Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to you over the wall.

If you have done foolishly in exalting yourself, or if you have devised evil, lay your hand over your mouth.

Jehovah, when Your hand is lifted up, they will not see; but they shall see and be ashamed for their envy toward the people. Yes, the fire of Your enemies shall devour them.

And this is the reason for the labor force which King Solomon raised: to build the house of Jehovah, his own house, the Millo, the wall of Jerusalem, Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.

When Pharaoh's daughter had come up from the City of David to her house which Solomon had built for her, then he built the Millo.

In that day I will raise up the covert of David that has fallen, and I will wall up its breaks. And I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old;

And it came to pass, when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites heard that the walls of Jerusalem had been restored up and the gaps had begun to be closed, that they were greatly infuriated,

You have made the earth tremble; You split it open. Heal its breaks, for it is shaking.

You have also seen the breaks in the city of David, that they are many; and you gathered the waters of the lower pool.

You have not gone up into the gaps, nor built a wall for the house of Israel to stand in battle in the day of Jehovah.

Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion. It is the City of David.
