2 Samuel 5:1-9

11Then allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 to DavidH1732 at HebronH2275 and 2saidH559, “BeholdH2009, we are 3your boneH6106 and your fleshH1320. 2PreviouslyH1571H865H8032, when SaulH7586 was kingH4428 overH5921 us, 4you were the one who ledH3318 IsraelH3478 out and in. And the LordH3068 saidH559 to you, ‘5You will shepherdH7462 My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and you will be 6a rulerH5057 overH5921 IsraelH3478.’” 3So allH3605 the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 to the kingH4428 at HebronH2275, and KingH4428 DavidH1732 7madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with them beforeH6440 the LordH3068 at HebronH2275; then 8they anointedH4886 DavidH1732 kingH4428 overH5921 IsraelH3478. 4DavidH1732 was 9thirtyH7970 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he becameH4427 kingH4427, and 10he reignedH4427 fortyH705 yearsH8141. 5At HebronH2275 11he reignedH4427 overH5921 JudahH3063 sevenH7651 yearsH8141 and sixH8337 monthsH2320, and in JerusalemH3389 he reignedH4427 thirty-threeH7970H7969 yearsH8141 overH5921 allH3605 IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063.

612Now the kingH4428 and his menH376 wentH1980 to 13JerusalemH3389 againstH413 the JebusitesH2983, the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, and they saidH559 to 14DavidH1732, “You shall not comeH935 in hereH2008, but the blindH5787 and lameH6455 will turnH5493 you awayH5493”; 15thinkingH559, “DavidH1732 cannotH3808 enterH935 hereH2008.” 7Nevertheless, DavidH1732 capturedH3920 the strongholdH4686 of ZionH6726, that is 16the cityH5892 of DavidH1732. 8DavidH1732 saidH559 on that dayH3117, “WhoeverH3605 would strikeH5221 the JebusitesH2983, let him reachH5060 the lameH6455 and the blindH5787, who are hatedH8130 by David’sH1732 soulH5315, through the waterH6794 tunnelH6794.” ThereforeH5921H3651 they sayH559, “The blindH5787 or the lameH6455 shall not comeH935 into the houseH1004.” 9So DavidH1732 livedH3427 in the strongholdH4686 and calledH7121 it 17the cityH5892 of DavidH1732. And DavidH1732 builtH1129 allH5439 aroundH5439 from the 1819MilloH4407 and inwardH1004.
