2 Samuel 5:7-9
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
7 Nevertheless, David took the stronghold of Zion, which is now the city of David. 8 David had said on that day, ‘Whoever wishes to strike down the Jebusites, let him get up the water shaft to attack the lame and the blind, those whom David hates.’[a] Therefore it is said, ‘The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.’ 9 David occupied the stronghold, and named it the city of David. David built the city all around from the Millo inwards.
