2 Samuel 5:6-8

New Catholic Bible

Capture of Zion. ⁶ Then the king and his men marched to Jerusalem to attack the Jebusites who inhabited the land. These people said to David: “You will never come in here. Even the blind and the lame will stop you in your tracks.” In this way they showed their contempt for David and his forces.

^7 [a]Despite their boast, David did take the stronghold of Zion, which is now known as the City of David. ⁸ David had said on that day: “All those who are eager to attack the Jebusites must scale the water shaft to attack the lame and the blind, the bitter enemies of David.” Therefore, it is said: “The blind and the lame shall not enter the palace.”
