  • Josh 18:11-28 : 11 The lot of the tribe of Benjamin, according to their clans, came up. The territory allotted to their lot lay between the tribes of Judah and Joseph. 12 Their northern boundary began at the Jordan, ascended to the northern slope of Jericho, went up to the hill country westward, and ended at the wilderness of Beth-aven. 13 From there, the boundary crossed over to Luz, to the southern slope of Luz (that is, Bethel). Then it went down to Ataroth-addar on the hill south of Lower Beth-horon. 14 The boundary turned around on the western side, curving to the south, facing the mountain that lies in front of Beth-horon to the south, and ended at Kiriath-baal (that is, Kiriath-jearim), a town of the sons of Judah. This was the western boundary. 15 The southern boundary began at the edge of Kiriath-jearim and extended westward to the spring of the Waters of Nephtoah. 16 It descended to the edge of the hill facing the Valley of Ben-Hinnom in the northern part of the Valley of Rephaim. Then it went down to the Valley of Hinnom, along the slope of the Jebusites, and down to En-rogel. 17 It curved northward and went out to En-shemesh, and from there to Geliloth, opposite the ascent of Adummim. Then it descended to the Stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben. 18 The boundary continued to the northern slope opposite the Arabah and went down into the Arabah. 19 The boundary passed along to the northern slope of Beth-hoglah and ended at the northern bay of the Salt Sea at the southern end of the Jordan.

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. He built it up all around, from the Millo inward.
