← 2 Samuel 5:7	2 Samuel 5:8 (KJV)	2 Samuel 5:9 →
Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same [is] the city of David.	And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind, [that are] hated of David's soul, [he shall be chief and captain].
