2 Samuel 5:6

¶ 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.

And the king {H4428} and his men {H582} went {H3212} to Jerusalem {H3389} unto the Jebusites {H2983}, the inhabitants {H3427} of the land {H776}: which spake {H559} unto David {H1732}, saying {H559}, Except thou take away {H5493} the blind {H5787} and the lame {H6455}, thou shalt not come in {H935} hither: thinking {H559}, David {H1732} cannot come in {H935} hither.

The king and his men went to Yerushalayim to attack the Y'vusi, the inhabitants of that region. They taunted David, "You won't get in here! Even the blind and the lame could fend you off!"- in other words, they were thinking, "David will never get in here."

Now the king and his men marched to Jerusalem against the Jebusites who inhabited the land. The Jebusites said to David: “You will never get in here. Even the blind and lame can repel you.” For they thought, “David cannot get in here.”

And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who 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.
