Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 1 Chronicles 11:8
And he built the city round about, even from Millo round about: and Joab repaired the rest of the city.
8. even from Millo round about ] R.V. from Millo even round about. Millo, usually “the Millo,” meaning perhaps “The filling up,” was some part of the defences of the “city of David,” either a solid tower or perhaps an armoury, or a piece of supplementary work intended to strengthen an existing wall (LXX. 2Ch 32:5, , “support”).
repaired ] Render spared or kept alive; cp. Exo 1:17. Pesh. translates: “Joab gave his right hand to the rest of the men who were in the city.” The “rest (remnant) of the city” included Benjamites as well as Jebusites (Jdg 1:21).

(8) And he built the city round about.Literally, and he built (or rebuilt or fortified) the city all round, from the Millo even unto the (complete) round. The Millo was probably a tower or citadel, like the Arx Antonia of later times. According to the chronicler David started from that point, and brought his line of defences round to it again. Samuel has simply, And David built around, from the Millo, and inward. This seems to mean that he carried his buildings from the fortress towards the interior of the city. Both statements may, of course, be true.
