2 Samuel 5:8-10
Common English Bible
8 “On that day,” David said, “whoever attacks the Jebusites should strike the windpipe because David hates the lame and the blind.”[a] That is why people say, “The blind and the lame will not enter the temple.”[b] 9 David occupied the fortress, so it was renamed David’s City. David built a city around it from the earthen terraces[c] inward.[d] 10 David grew increasingly powerful, and the Lord of heavenly forces was with him.
