David Conquers Jerusalem
6 And the king went, & all the men that were with him, into Jerusalem, to the Jebusite the in habiter of the land, & they said to David: Thou shalt not come in hither, unless thou take away the blind & the lame, saying: David shall not come in hither.📜💬📚
7 But David took the tower of Sion, this is the city of David.📜💬📚
8 For David had proposed in that day a reward to whosoever should strike the Jebusite, and touch the gutters of the house tops, and take away the blind and the lame that hated the soul of David: therefore it is said in the proverb: The blind and the lame shall not enter into the temple.📜💬📚
9 And David dwelt in the tower, and called it, The city of David: & built round about from Mello and inwards.📜💬📚
