Seeker Overlay ON
*
In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months :
and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah .
*
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 .
