2 Samuel 5:6-12

5:6

And the king
<04428>

and his men
<0582>

went
<03212> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>

unto the Jebusites
<02983>_,

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>_:

which spake
<0559> (8799)

unto David
<01732>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Except thou take away
<05493> (8687)

the blind
<05787>

and the lame
<06455>_,

thou shalt not come in
<0935> (8799)

hither: thinking
<0559> (8800)_,

David
<01732>

cannot come in
<0935> (8799)

hither. {thinking...: or, saying David shall not, etc}

5:7

Nevertheless David
<01732>

took
<03920> (8799)

the strong hold
<04686>

of Zion
<06726>_:

the same [is] the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_.

5:8

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

on that day
<03117>_,

Whosoever getteth up
<05060> (8799)

to the gutter
<06794>_,

and smiteth
<05221> (8688)

the Jebusites
<02983>_,

and the lame
<06455>

and the blind
<05787>_,

[that are] hated
<08130> (8803)

of David's
<01732>

soul
<05315>_,

[he shall be chief and captain]. Wherefore they said
<0559> (8799)_,

The blind
<05787>

and the lame
<06455>

shall not come
<0935> (8799)

into the house
<01004>_.

{Wherefore...: or, Because they had said, even the blind and the lame, He shall not}

5:9

So David
<01732>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in the fort
<04686>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

it the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_.

And David
<01732>

built
<01129> (8799)

round about
<05439>

from Millo
<04407>

and inward
<01004>_.

5:10

And David
<01732>

went
<03212> (8799)

on
<01980> (8800)_,

and grew great
<01419>_,

and the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of hosts
<06635>

[was] with him. {went...: Heb. went, going and growing}

5:11

And Hiram
<02438>

king
<04428>

of Tyre
<06865>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

to David
<01732>_,

and cedar
<0730>

trees
<06086>_,

and carpenters
<02796>_,

and masons
<07023> <068>_:

and they built
<01129> (8799)

David
<01732>

an house
<01004>_.

{masons: Heb. hewers of the stone of the wall}

5:12

And David
<01732>

perceived
<03045> (8799)

that the LORD
<03068>

had established
<03559> (8689)

him king
<04428>

over Israel
<03478>_,

and that he had exalted
<05375> (8765)

his kingdom
<04467>

for his people
<05971>

Israel's
<03478>

sake.
