2 Samuel 5:6-8

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.
