2 Samuel 5:7 Context
5In Hebron he reigned ouer Iudah seuen yeeres, and sixe moneths: and in Ierusalem he reigned thirty and three yeres ouer all Israel and Iudah. 6¶ And the king and his men went to Ierusalem, vnto the Iebusites, the inhabitants of the land: which spake vnto Dauid, saying, Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: Thinking, Dauid cannot come in hither. 7Neuerthelesse, Dauid tooke the strong hold of Zion: the same is the citie of Dauid. 8And Dauid said on that day, Whosoeuer getteth vp to the gutter, and smiteth the Iebusites, and the lame, and the blind, that are hated of Dauids soule, he shall be chiefe and captaine: Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house. 9So Dauid dwelt in the fort, and called it the citie of Dauid, and Dauid built round about, from Millo and inward.
