2 Samuel 5:6-8
International Standard Version
6 Later, the king and his army marched on Jerusalem against the Jebusites, who were inhabiting the territory at that time[a] and who had told David, “You’re not coming in here! Even the blind and the lame could turn you away!” because they were thinking[b] “David can’t come here.” 7 Even so, David captured the stronghold of Zion, which is now known as[c] the City of David.
8 At that time,[d] 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.”[e]
Therefore they say, “The blind and lame are never to come into the house.”
