Context
David Occupies Jerusalem
5:6 Then the king and his men advanced to Jerusalem against the Jebusites who lived in the land . The Jebusites said to David , “You cannot invade this place ! Even the blind and the lame will turn you back , saying , ‘David cannot invade this place !’”
5:7 But David captured the fortress of Zion (that is, the city of David ).
5:8 David said on that day , “Whoever attacks the Jebusites must approach the ‘lame ’ and the ‘blind ’ who are David’s enemies by going through the water tunnel .” For this reason it is said , “The blind and the lame cannot enter the palace .”
5:9 So David lived in the fortress and called it the City of David . David built all around it, from the terrace inwards .
5:10 David’s power grew steadily , for the Lord God who commands armies was with him.
5:11 King Hiram of Tyre sent messengers to David , along with cedar logs , carpenters , and stonemasons . They built a palace for David .
5:12 David realized that the Lord had established him as king over Israel and that he had elevated his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel .
5:13 David married more concubines and wives from Jerusalem after he arrived from Hebron . Even more sons and daughters were born to David .
5:14 These are the names of children born to him in Jerusalem : Shammua , Shobab , Nathan , Solomon ,
5:15 Ibhar , Elishua , Nepheg , Japhia ,
5:16 Elishama , Eliada , and Eliphelet .
