2 Samuel 5:6-9
61Now the king and his men went to 2Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land; and they said to 3David, “You shall not come in here, but even those who are blind and those who limp will turn you away,” 4thinking, “David cannot enter here.”
7Nevertheless, David captured the stronghold of Zion, that is, 5the city of David.
8And David said on that day, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites is to reach those who limp and those who are blind, who are hated by David’s soul, through the water tunnel.” For that reason they say, “People who are blind and people who limp shall not come into the house.”
9So David lived in the stronghold, and called it 6the city of David. And David built all around from the 78Millo and inward.
