6 And King David and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke to David, saying, You shall not come in here, except you destroy both the blind and the lame; and they said, David cannot come in here. 7 Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion; the same is the city of David. 8 And David said on that day, Whosoever smites a Jebusite and whosoever strikes with a weapon the blind and the lame, he is a hater of David's soul. Therefore they say, The blind and the lame shall not come into the temple. 9 So David dwelt in the fort, that is, Zion; and he called it the city of David. And David built round about the fort from within. 10 And David continued to become greater, and the LORD God of hosts was with him. 2 Samuel 5:6-10, Lamsa Bible. Public domain.
