7Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion; the same is the city of David.
8David said on that day, Whoever strikes the Jebusites, let him get up to the watercourse, and [strike] the lame and the blind, who are hated of David`s soul. Why they say, There are the blind and the lame; he can`t come into the house.
9David lived in the stronghold, and called it the city of David. David built round about from Millo and inward.
10David grew greater and greater; for Yahweh, the God of hosts, was with him.
11Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and carpenters, and masons; and they built David a house.
12David perceived that Yahweh had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel`s sake.
13David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron; and there were yet sons and daughters born to David.
