Now the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who said to David, “You shall not enter here, for the blind and the lame [even the weakest among us] will turn you away”; they thought, “David cannot come in here [because the walls are impenetrable].”
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.
David and his men immediately set out for Jerusalem to take on the Jebusites, who lived in that country. But they said, “You might as well go home! Even the blind and the lame could keep you out. You can’t get in here!” They had convinced themselves that David couldn’t break through. 7-8 But David went right ahead and captured the fortress of Zion, known ever since as the City of David. That day David said, “To get the best of these Jebusites, one must target the water system, not to mention this so-called lame and blind bunch that David hates.” (In fact, he was so sick and tired of it, people coined the expression, “No lame and blind allowed in the palace.”) 9-10 David made the fortress city his home and named it “City of David.” He developed the city from the outside terraces inward. David proceeded with a longer stride, a larger embrace since the God-of-the-Angel-Armies was with him. 11-12 It was at this time that Hiram, king of Tyre, sent messengers to David, along with timbers of cedar. He also sent carpenters and masons to build a house for David. David took this as a sign that God had confirmed him as king of Israel, giving his kingship world prominence for the sake of Israel, his people. 13-16 David took on more concubines and wives from Jerusalem after he left Hebron. And more sons and daughters were born to him. These are the names of those born to him in Jerusalem:Shammua,Shobab,Nathan,Solomon,Ibhar,Elishua,Nepheg,Japhia,Elishama,Eliada,Eliphelet. 17-18 When the Philistines got word that David had been made king over all Israel, they came on the hunt for him. David heard of it and went down to the stronghold. When the Philistines arrived, they deployed their forces in Raphaim Valley.
Now the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, and they said to [b]David, “You shall not come in here, but the blind and lame will turn you away”; [c]thinking, “David cannot enter here.”
The king and his men marched to Jerusalem. They went to attack the Jebusites who lived there. The Jebusites said to David, “You won’t get in here. Even people who can’t see or walk can keep you from coming in.” The Jebusites thought, “David can’t get in here.”
The king and his men marched to Jerusalem to attack the Jebusites, who lived there. The Jebusites said to David, “You will not get in here; even the blind and the lame can ward you off.” They thought, “David cannot get in here.”

David then led his men to Jerusalem to fight against the Jebusites, the original inhabitants of the land who were living there. The Jebusites taunted David, saying, “You’ll never get in here! Even the blind and lame could keep you out!” For the Jebusites thought they were safe.

ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ الْمَلِكُ بِقُوَّاتِهِ نَحْوَ أُورُشَلِيمَ لِمُحَارَبَةِ أَهْلِهَا الْيَبُوسِيِّينَ. فَقَالُوا لِدَاوُدَ: «لَنْ تَسْتَطِيعَ اقْتِحَامَ الْمَدِينَةِ، لأَنَّهُ حَتَّى فِي وُسْعِ الْعُمْيَانِ وَالْعُرْجِ أَنْ يَصُدُّوكَ عَنْهَا».

Så snart David var blevet udråbt til konge over begge riger, rykkede han og hans mænd op imod Jerusalem for at bekæmpe jebusitterne, som boede der.„Her kommer du aldrig ind!” sagde jebusitterne til David. „Om så vores vagtposter var både blinde og lamme, ville det være umuligt for dig!” 7-9 Da David hørte deres overmodige ord, sagde han til sine mænd: „Træng ind i byen gennem vandtunnelen og gør det af med disse ‚lamme og blinde’, som er fjendtligt indstillet overfor os.” Derfor siger man, at „lamme og blinde får ikke lov at komme ind i Guds Hus”. Det lykkedes på den måde David at indtage klippeborgen Zion, hvorefter han flyttede ind i den og ændrede dens navn til Davidsbyen. Og han udbyggede og befæstede byen yderligere, både forsvarstårnet og de øvrige bygninger.

Nachdem David König geworden war, unternahm er mit seinen Soldaten einen Feldzug gegen die Stadt Jerusalem. In dieser Gegend wohnte immer noch der kanaanitische Stamm der Jebusiter. Die Einwohner verhöhnten David: »In unsere Stadt wirst du nie hereinkommen! Selbst unsere Lahmen und Blinden könnten dich in die Flucht schlagen.« Sie waren sicher, dass es David nicht gelingen würde, die Stadt einzunehmen.

Isa ka tion, naglakat si David kag ang iya mga tinawo sa Jerusalem sa pagsalakay sa mga Jebusnon nga nagaestar didto. Nagsiling ang mga Jebusnon kay David, “Indi gid kamo makasulod diri sa Jerusalem! Bisan ang mga bulag kag mga piang makapugong sa inyo sa pagsulod.” Amo ato ang ila ginsiling, kay naghunahuna sila nga indi gid makasulod sila ni David.
