2 Samuel 5:7-9
Common English Bible
7 But David did capture the fortress of Zion—which became David’s City. 8 “On that day,” David said, “whoever attacks the Jebusites should strike the windpipe because David hates the lame and the blind.”[a] That is why people say, “The blind and the lame will not enter the temple.”[b] 9 David occupied the fortress, so it was renamed David’s City. David built a city around it from the earthen terraces[c] inward.[d]
