2 Samuel 5:8-10
The Voice
David (to his army): 8 If you want to strike down the Jebusites—these blind and lame defenders whom I hate—then go through the water tunnel.
(From this exchange came the saying, “The blind and the lame cannot enter the house.”)
9 Once David captured the fortress, he stayed there and named it the city of David. He built it up all around, carefully terracing the hillside from the Millo[a] inward. 10 And David continued to grow in power and reputation because the Eternal God, Commander of heavenly armies, was with him.
