- 大衛和跟隨他的人到了耶路撒冷、要攻打住那地方的耶布斯人.耶布斯人對大衛說、你若不趕出瞎子、瘸子、必不能進這地方.心裡想大衛決不能進去。
- 然而大衛攻取錫安的保障、就是大衛的城。
- 當日、大衛說、誰攻打耶布斯人、當上水溝攻打我心裡所恨惡的瘸子、瞎子.從此有俗語說、在那裡有瞎子、瘸子、他不能進屋去。
- 大衛住在保障裡、給保障起名叫大衛城.大衛又從米羅以裡、周圍築牆。
- 大衛日見強盛、因為耶和華萬軍之 神與他同在。

- Now the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, and they said to David, "You shall not come in here, but the blind and lame will turn you away"; thinking, "David cannot enter here."
- Nevertheless, David captured the stronghold of Zion, that is the city of David.
- David said on that day, "Whoever would strike the Jebusites, let him reach the lame and the blind, who are hated by David's soul, through the water tunnel." Therefore they say, "The blind or the lame shall not come into the house."
- So David lived in the stronghold and called it the city of David And David built all around from the Millo and inward.
- David became greater and greater, for the LORD God of hosts was with him.
