They thought, "David cannot get in here." 7 But David captured the stronghold of Zion, which is now the City of David. 8 On that day, David said, "Whoever strikes the Jebusites should attack via the water shaft to reach the lame and the blind, who are despised by David." Because of this, it is said, "The blind and the lame will not enter the house." 9 David took up residence in the stronghold and named it the City of David.
