The Jebusites taunted David, saying, “You’ll never get in here! Even the blind and lame could keep you out!” For the Jebusites thought they were safe. 7 But David captured the fortress of Zion, which is now called the City of David. 8 On the day of the attack, David said to his troops, “I hate those ‘lame’ and ‘blind’ Jebusites. Whoever attacks them should strike by going into the city through the water tunnel.” That is the origin of the saying, “The blind and the lame may not enter the house.”</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">ADDITIONAL VERSES, etc.:</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">12 If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall. 13 The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience.
