2 Samuel 5:9 - John Wesley's Notes

2 Samuel 5:9

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.
