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.

Verse 6 is found in chapter 5 of 2 Samuel. David conquers Jerusalem and establishes his center of government there. The city of the Jebusites becomes the City of David, a politically strategic capital that will later become fundamental to Israel’s religious identity. The text attributes David’s growth to the Lord’s presence with him. The conquest is not presented simply as a military achievement, but as part of the consolidation of a kingdom whose center will have enormous importance in later biblical history.

Und der König zog hin mit seinen Männern gen Jerusalem wider die Jebusiter, die im Lande wohnten. Sie aber sprachen zu David: Du wirst nicht hier hereinkommen, sondern Blinde und Lahme werden dich abtreiben. Damit meinten sie aber, daß David nicht würde dahinein kommen.
Entonces el rey y los suyos fueron a Jerusalem al Jebuseo que habitaba en la tierra; el cual habló a David, diciendo: Tú no entrarás acá, si no echares los ciegos y los cojos; diciendo: No entrará acá David.
El rey y sus hombres fueron a Jerusalén contra los jebuseos que habitaban el país. Estos le dijeron a David: «No entrarás aquí. Hasta los ciegos y los cojos te rechazarán». Con ello querían decir: «David no entrará aquí».
Le roi marcha avec ses gens sur Jérusalem contre les Jébusiens, habitants du pays. Ils dirent à David: Tu n'entreras point ici, car les aveugles mêmes et les boiteux te repousseront! Ce qui voulait dire: David n'entrera point ici.
Ora il re andò, con la sua gente, in Gerusalemme, contro ai Gebusei che abitavano nel paese; ed essi dissero a Davide: Tu non entrerai qua entro, che tu non ne abbia cacciati i ciechi e gli zoppi; volendo dire: Davide non entrerà mai qua entro.
E partiu o rei com os seus homens a Jerusalém, contra os jebuseus que habitavam naquela terra; e falaram a Davi, dizendo: Não entrarás aqui, pois os cegos e os coxos te repelirão, querendo dizer: Não entrará Davi aqui.
