2 Samuel 5:6-16

6And the king and his men went to Jerusalem to the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land: who spoke to David, saying, Except thou shalt take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in here: thinking, David cannot come in there.1 7Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David. 8And David said on that day, Whoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind, that are hated by David’s soul, he shall be chief and captain . Therefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.2 9So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. And David built around from Millo and inward. 10And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of hosts was with him.3

11And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons: and they built David an house.4 12And David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel’s sake. 13And David took more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron: and there were yet sons and daughters born to David. 14And these are the names of those that were born to him in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon, 15Ibhar also, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia, 16And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.
