The Conquest of Jerusalem

6 aAnd the king and his men went to Jerusalem against bthe Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke to David, saying, “You shall not come in here; but the blind and the lame will repel you,” thinking, “David cannot come in here.”  
7 Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion a(that is, the City of David).  
8 Now David said on that day, “Whoever climbs up by way of the water shaft and defeats the Jebusites (the lame and the blind, who are hated by David’s soul), ahe shall be chief and captain.” Therefore they say, “The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.”  
9 Then David dwelt in the stronghold, and called it athe City of David. And David built all around from1 the Millo and inward.  
10 So David went on and became great, and athe Lord God of hosts was with bhim.  
11 Then aHiram bking of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters and masons. And they built David a house.
