2 Samuel 5:8-10

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁸ David said on that day, “Anyone who attacks the Jebusites must go up through the water shaft^[a] to get at those lame and blind enemies of David.” Therefore the saying came about, “The blind and the lame will not come into the house.”

⁹ David lived in the stronghold and called it the City of David. David built up all sides of the stronghold from the Millo^[b] inward. ¹⁰ David kept getting greater and greater, because the Lord, the God of Armies, was with him.
