“Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David.”
David took the stronghold of Zion; it is the city of David — The conquest of Zion (the Jebusite fortress) becomes David's great achievement. The renaming—'city of David'—marks possession and establishes it as the heart of David's kingdom. The move from Hebron to Jerusalem represents the consolidation of power.
