Old Testament
2 Samuel
Second Samuel tells the story of David's reign, from national success to painful family failure. David is brave, gifted and deeply flawed. God makes him a lasting promise, yet the book does not hide the damage caused by his choices. It shows both the weight of sin and the persistence of grace.

- 2 Samuel 5:6-9
The king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke to David, saying, “The blind and the lame will keep you out of here,” thinking, “David can’t come in here.” Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion. This is David’s city. David said on that day, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites, let him go up to the watercourse and strike those lame and blind, who are hated by David’s soul.” Therefore they say, “The blind and the lame can’t come into the house.” David lived in the stronghold, and called it David’s city. David built around from Millo and inward.
