2 Samuel 5:1-9

1Then cameH935 allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to DavidH1732 unto HebronH2275, and spake, sayingH559, BeholdH2005, weH587 are thy boneH6106 and thy fleshH1320.

2In times past, when SaulH7586 was kingH4428 over usH5921, it was thou that leddest outH3318 and broughtest in IsraelH3478: and the LORDH3068 saidH559 to thee, Thou shalt feedH7462 my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and thou shalt be princeH5057 over IsraelH3478.

3SoH935 allH3605 the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 to the kingH4428 to HebronH2275; and kingH4428 DavidH1732 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with them in HebronH2275 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: 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 mouths: and in JerusalemH3389 he reignedH4427 thirtyH7970 and threeH7969 yearsH8141 over allH3605 IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063.

6And the kingH4428 and his menH376 wentH935 to JerusalemH3389 againstH413 the JebusitesH2983, the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776: which spake unto DavidH1732, sayingH559, ExceptH518 thou takeH5493 awayH5493 the blindH5787 and the lame, thou shalt notH3808 comeH935 in hither: thinkingH559, DavidH1732 cannotH3808 comeH935 in hither.

7Nevertheless DavidH1732 tookH3920 the strong hold of ZionH6726; the sameH1931 is the cityH5892 of DavidH1732.

8And DavidH1732 saidH559 on that dayH3117, Whosoever smiteth the JebusitesH2983, letH3808 him getH935 upH5921 to the watercourse, and smiteH5221 the lameH6455 and the blindH5787, that are hatedH8130 of David’sH1732 soulH5315. Wherefore they sayH559, There are the blindH5787 and the lameH6455; he cannotH3808 comeH935 intoH413 the houseH1004.

9And DavidH1732 dweltH3427 in the strong holdH1004, and calledH7121 it the cityH5892 of DavidH1732. And DavidH1732 builtH1129 roundH5439 aboutH5439 from MilloH4407 and inwardH1004.
