2 Samuel 5:7-9

Tree of Life Version

⁷ Nevertheless, David did capture the stronghold of Zion (that is, the City of David). ⁸ On that day David said, “Whoever would conquer the Jebusites must strike through the water shaft to those ‘lame and blind’ whom David’s soul despises.” That is why they used to say, “The blind or lame couldn’t get into the house.” ⁹ So David occupied the stronghold and renamed it the City of David. Then David fortified it all round from the Millo inward.
