Commentary on 2 Samuel 5:9
Theological / DevotionalMillo. Probably some kind of terrace or fortification in the Jebusite city, already there when David captured Jerusalem, and to which numerous additions were made by later kings (see 1 Chron. 11:8; 1 Kings 9:15, 24; 11:27; 2 Kings 12:20; 2 Chron. 32:5).
And inward. Millo may have been the northeastern limit of the City of David. To the east the precipitous ravine of Kidron provided a strong natural defense. All David’s buildings would then be to the south of Millo and protected by it on the north. The work of further strengthening the city’s defenses was committed to Joab (1 Chron. 11:8).
