2Sa 5:9 | MHM | STEP | v. 9 : David moved into the fortress and called it the City of David. He built up the city around it, from the stronghold inward to the Millo, which became the central part of the city (2 Samuel 5:9 ). David became greater and stronger because the Lord God of hosts was with him. God helped David to succeed and protected him. When someone becomes great, they should remember it is because of God’s help. The church is often called Zion, the city of the living God. Just as David removed the enemies from Zion, Jesus removes all that is evil from his people and makes his home with them.
