2 Samuel 5:7-9
American Standard Version
7 Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion; the same is the city of David. 8 And David said on that day, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites, let him get up to the watercourse, [a]and smite the lame and the blind, [b]that are hated of David’s soul. Wherefore they say, [c]There are the blind and the lame; he cannot come into the house. 9 And David dwelt in the stronghold, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward.
