5 (A)At Hebron he reigned over Judah (B)seven years and six months, and at Jerusalem he reigned over all Israel and Judah thirty-three years.[a]
6 (C)And the king and his men went to Jerusalem (D)against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who said to David, “You will not come in here, but the blind and the lame will ward you off”—thinking, “David cannot come in here.” 7 Nevertheless, David took the stronghold of Zion, (E)that is, the city of David.
