- 大卫和跟随他的人到了耶路撒冷,要攻打住那地方的耶布斯人。耶布斯人对大卫说,你若不赶出瞎子,瘸子,必不能进这地方。心里想大卫决不能进去。
- 然而大卫攻取锡安的保障,就是大卫的城。
- 当日,大卫说,谁攻打耶布斯人,当上水沟攻打我心里所恨恶的瘸子,瞎子。从此有俗语说,在那里有瞎子,瘸子,他不能进屋去。
- 大卫住在保障里,给保障起名叫大卫城。大卫又从米罗以里,周围筑墙。
- 大卫日见强盛,因为耶和华万军之神与他同在。

- 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.
- Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David.
- 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.
- So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward.
- And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of hosts was with him.
