2 Samuel 5:5-9
5In HebronH2275 he reignedH4427 over JudahH3063 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 and sixH8337 monthsH2320; and in JerusalemH3389 he reignedH4427 thirtyH7970 and threeH7969 yearsH8141 over all IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063.
6And the kingH4428 and his menH376 wentH935 to JerusalemH3389 against the Jebusites, the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, who spake unto DavidH1732, sayingH559, Except thou take awayH5493 the blindH5787 and the lame, thou shalt not comeH935 in hither; thinking, DavidH1732 cannot comeH935 in hither. 7Nevertheless DavidH1732 tookH3920 the stronghold of ZionH6726; the same is the cityH5892 of DavidH1732. 8And DavidH1732 saidH559 on that dayH3117, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites, let him get up to the watercourse, and smite the lameH6455 and the blindH5787, that are hatedH8130 of David’s soulH5315. Wherefore they sayH559, There are the blindH5787 and the lameH6455; he cannot comeH935 into the houseH1004. 9And DavidH1732 dweltH3427 in the stronghold, and calledH7121 it the cityH5892 of DavidH1732. And DavidH1732 builtH1129 roundH5439 about from MilloH4407 and inward.
