6 The king also and his men went to Hierusalem vnto the Iebusites the inhabitauntes of the lande, whiche spake vnto Dauid, saying: Except thou take away the blinde and the lame, thou shalt not come in hyther: For they said, Thou art not able to come in hyther. 7 Neuerthelesse, Dauid toke the strong hold of Sion: the same is the citie of Dauid. 8 And Dauid sayde the same day: Whosoeuer smyteth the Iebusites, and getteth vp to the gutters of the houses, and smyteth the lame and the blinde, hated of Dauid soule, I will preferre him. Wherfore they said: The blinde and the lame shal not come into that house. 9 And so Dauid dwelt in the towre, and called it the citie of Dauid, and buylt round about it, from Millo & inward. 10 And Dauid prospered and grewe, and ye Lord God of hoastes was with him. 2 Samuel 5:6-10, Bishops' Bible of 1568.
