and inward,” 2 Sam. v, 9; that is, he built round about from the place
where Millo was afterward erected by Solomon, or where more probably the
senate house, or Millo of the Jebusites, had stood, which was pulled
down to make room for the more sumptuous edifice of Solomon, to his own
house; so that David built from Mount Zion, quite round to the opposite
point. Hence, the residence of David, even in the reign of that renowned
monarch, began to assume the size and splendour of a city.
