2 Samuel 5:1-10

1Then cameH935 all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to DavidH1732 unto HebronH2275, and spakeH559, sayingH559, Behold, we are thy boneH6106 and thy fleshH1320. 2Also in time pastH8032H865, when SaulH7586 was kingH4428 over us, thou wast he that leddest outH3318 and broughtest inH935 IsraelH3478: And YhwhH3068 saidH559 to thee, Thou shalt feedH7462 my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and thou shalt be a captainH5057 over IsraelH3478. 3So all the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 to the kingH4428 to HebronH2275; and kingH4428 DavidH1732 madeH3772 a leagueH1285 with them in HebronH2275 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068: and they anointedH4886 DavidH1732 kingH4428 over IsraelH3478.

4DavidH1732 was thirtyH7970 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 fortyH705 yearsH8141. 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 menH582 wentH3212 to JerusalemH3389 unto the JebusitesH2983, the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776: which spakeH559 unto DavidH1732, sayingH559, Except thou take awayH5493 the blindH5787 and the lameH6455, thou shalt not come inH935 hither: thinkingH559, DavidH1732 cannot come inH935 hither.1 7Nevertheless DavidH1732 tookH3920 the strong holdH4686 of ZionH6726: the same is the cityH5892 of DavidH1732. 8And DavidH1732 saidH559 on that dayH3117, Whosoever getteth upH5060 to the gutterH6794, and smitethH5221 the JebusitesH2983, and the lameH6455 and the blindH5787, that are hatedH8130 of David’sH1732 soulH5315, he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they saidH559, The blindH5787 and the lameH6455 shall not comeH935 into the houseH1004.2 9So DavidH1732 dweltH3427 in the fortH4686, and calledH7121 it the cityH5892 of DavidH1732. And DavidH1732 builtH1129 round aboutH5439 from MilloH4407 and inwardH1004. 10And DavidH1732 wentH3212 onH1980, and grew greatH1419, And YhwhH3068 GodH430 of ArmiesH6635 was with him.3
