- 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。

- 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.
