2 Samuel 5:6-16

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. 10And DavidH1732 waxed greaterH1419 and greaterH1419; for Jehovah, the GodH430 of hostsH6635, was with him.

11And HiramH2438 kingH4428 of TyreH6865 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to DavidH1732, and cedar-trees, and carpenters, and masons; and they builtH1129 DavidH1732 a houseH1004. 12And DavidH1732 perceived that Jehovah had establishedH3559 him kingH4428 over IsraelH3478, and that he had exalted his kingdomH4467 for his peopleH5971 Israel’s sakeH5668.

13And DavidH1732 tookH3947 him more concubinesH6370 and wivesH802 out of JerusalemH3389, after he was comeH935 from HebronH2275; and there were yetH5750 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323 bornH3205 to DavidH1732. 14And these are the namesH8034 of those that were born unto him in JerusalemH3389: ShammuaH8051, and ShobabH7727, and NathanH5416, and SolomonH8010, 15and IbharH2984, and ElishuaH474, and NephegH5298, and JaphiaH3309, 16and ElishamaH476, and EliadaH450, and ElipheletH467.
