2 Samuel 5:6

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.
