5In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months; and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.
6The king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke to David, saying, Except you take away the blind and the lame, you shall not come in here; thinking, David can`t come in here.
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.
