David said on that day, &#8220;Whoever attacks the Jebusites must approach the &#8216;lame&#8217; and the &#8216;blind&#8217; who are David&#8217;s enemies<n id="1" /> by going through the water tunnel.&#8221;<n id="2" /> For this reason it is said, &#8220;The blind and the lame cannot enter the palace.&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

Now the entire family has risen up against your servant, saying, &#8216;Turn over the one who struck down his brother, so that we can execute him and avenge the death<n id="1" /> of his brother whom he killed. In so doing we will also destroy the heir.&#8217; They want to extinguish my remaining coal,<n id="2" /> leaving no one on the face of the earth to carry on the name of my husband.&#8221;p>
