2 Samuel 5:6-16
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
11And HiramH2438 kingH4428 of TyreH6865 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to DavidH1732, and cedarH730 treesH6086, and carpentersH2796, and masonsH68H7023: and they builtH1129 DavidH1732 an houseH1004.4 12And DavidH1732 perceivedH3045 that YhwhH3068 had establishedH3559 him kingH4428 over IsraelH3478, and that he had exaltedH5375 his kingdomH4467 for his peopleH5971 Israel’sH3478 sake.
13And DavidH1732 tookH3947 him more concubinesH6370 and wivesH802 out of JerusalemH3389, afterH310 he was comeH935 from HebronH2275: and there were yet sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323 bornH3205 to DavidH1732. 14And these be the namesH8034 of those that were bornH3209 unto him in JerusalemH3389; ShammuaH8051, and ShobabH7727, and NathanH5416, and SolomonH8010, 15IbharH2984 also, and ElishuaH474, and NephegH5298, and JaphiaH3309, 16And ElishamaH476, and EliadaH450, and EliphaletH467.
