David Captures Jerusalem

⁶ The king and his men marched to Jerusalem. They went to attack the Jebusites who lived there. The Jebusites said to David, “You won’t get in here. Even people who can’t see or walk can keep you from coming in.” The Jebusites thought, “David can’t get in here.” ⁷ But David captured the fort of Zion. It became known as the City of David.
