2 Samuel 5:7-9
New International Version
2 Samuel 5:7-9
New International Version
7 Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion(A)—which is the City of David.(B)
8 On that day David had said, “Anyone who conquers the Jebusites will have to use the water shaft(C) to reach those ‘lame and blind’(D) who are David’s enemies.[a]” That is why they say, “The ‘blind and lame’ will not enter the palace.”
9 David then took up residence in the fortress and called it the City of David. He built up the area around it, from the terraces[b](E) inward.
