2 Samuel 5:6
Jerusalem <03389> [Jerusalem.]
Jebusites <02983> [the Jebusites.]
said ................... saying <0559> [which spake, etc.]
Dr. Kennicott's amended translation is as follows: "Who spake unto David, saying, Thou shalt not come in hither; for the blind and the lame shall drive thee away, by saying, David shall not come in hither." ver. 8. "And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites, and through the subterraneous passage reacheth the lame and the blind, who hate the life of David, (because the blind and the lame said, he shall not come into the house,) shall be chief and captain. So Joab, the son of Zeriah, went up first, and was chief."

said ... David ................. saying David <01732 0559> [thinking, David cannot. or, saying, David shall not, etc.]
2 Samuel 20:16
2 Samuel 1:10
death <04191> [slew.]
crown <05145> [crown.]
bracelet <0685> [bracelet.]
This was probably worn as an ensign of royalty, as is frequently the case in the East. When the Khalif Cayem Bemrillah granted the investiture of certain dominions to an Eastern prince, the ceremony was performed by sending him letters patent, a crown, chain, and bracelets. The bracelet, says Mr. Morier, are ornaments fastened above the elbows, composed of precious stones of great value, and are only worn by the king and his sons.
2 Samuel 14:32
