2 Samuel 5:8-9 ▼

8 At that time, David had said, |Whoever intends to attack the Jebusites will have to climb up the water shaft to attack the lame and blind, who hate David.| Therefore they say, |The blind and lame are never to come into the house.|

9 David occupied the fortress, naming it the City of David. He built up the surroundings from the terrace ramparts inward.
