2 Samuel 5:8-10
Names of God Bible
8 That day David said, “Whoever wants to defeat the Jebusites must reach the lame and the blind who hate me by using the water shaft.” So there is a saying, “The blind and the lame will not get into the palace.”[a] 9 David lived in the fortress and called it the City of David. He built the city of Jerusalem around it from the Millo[b] to the palace. 10 David continued to grow more powerful because Yahweh Elohim[c] Tsebaoth was with him.

8 David had said, “On that day when we attack the Jebusites,[a] one must attack the lame and the blind, those who hate the soul of David, by means of the water supply.” For thus the blind and the lame would say, “He cannot come into the house.” 9 David occupied the fortress and called it the city of David. And David built all around it from the Millo and inward.[b]
10 David continued growing stronger and stronger,[c] and Yahweh the God of hosts was with him.
