David Establishes Jerusalem as His Capital(A)
4 David began to reign when he was 30 years old, and he reigned 40 years. 5 He reigned over Judah for seven years and six months in Hebron, and he reigned over all of Israel including Judah for 33 years in Jerusalem. 6 Later, the king and his army marched on Jerusalem against the Jebusites, who were inhabiting the territory at that time[a] and who had told David, “You’re not coming in here! Even the blind and the lame could turn you away!” because they were thinking[b] “David can’t come here.”
