Exegesis
Within that clause, qaru-lo {קָרְאוּ־ל֖וֹ | qārʾû-lō} ‘they called it’ (Qal perfect; third person masculine plural with suffix) denotes a completed act of naming, and the construct ir David {עִ֥יר דָּוִֽיד | ʿîr Dāwîḏ} ‘City of David’ conveys possessive identification. The formal rendering conforms closely to Hebrew word order to emphasize causality, while the dynamic arrangement prioritizes natural English flow without losing the causal link.
In context — 1 Chronicles 11:7
David dwelt in the fortress ; for that reason they called it the City of David.
