⁸ David said on that day , "Whoever would strike the Jebusites , let him reach the lame and the blind , who are hated by David's soul , through the water tunnel ." Therefore e they say , "The blind or the lame shall not come into the house ."

⁸ And that day David said, Whoever makes an attack on the Jebusites, let him go up by the water-pipe, and put to death all the blind and feeble-footed who are hated by David. And this is why they say, The blind and feeble-footed may not come into the house.
