ગુજરાતી2 શમુએલ ૫:૬
દાઉદ રાજા અને તેના સૈન્યએ યરુશાલેમમાં જઈને તેના રહેવાસી યબૂસીઓ પર આક્રમણ કર્યું. તેઓએ દાઉદને કહ્યું, “તું અહીં આવી શકવાનો નથી, કેમ કે દ્રષ્ટિવિહીન તથા અપંગો પણ તને હાંકી કાઢી શકે તેમ છે. તું અહીં અંદર આવી શકશે નહિ.”
हिन्दी2 शमूएल ५:६
तब राजा ने अपने जनों को साथ लिए हुए यरूशलेम को जाकर यबूसियों पर चढ़ाई की, जो उस देश के निवासी थे। उन्होंने यह समझकर, कि दाऊद यहाँ घुस न सकेगा, उससे कहा, “जब तक तू अंधों और लँगड़ों को दूर न करे, तब तक यहाँ घुस न पाएगा।”

In context

4David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.

5In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.

6The 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.”

7Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion. This is David’s city.

8David 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.”
