2 Samuel 5:6-11
David Conquers Jerusalem

6 And the king and his men went to Jerusalem unto the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land: which spake unto David, saying, Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking, David cannot come in hither.

6:

7 Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same [is] the city of David.

7:

8 And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind, [that are] hated of David’s soul, [he shall be chief and captain]. Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.

8:

9 So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward.

9:

10 And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of hosts [was] with him.

10:

11 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons: and they built David an house.

11:
