ગુજરાતી2 શમુએલ ૫:૮
યબૂસીઓએ કરેલા અપમાનના જવાબમાં ગુસ્સે થઈને દાઉદે કહ્યું કે, “સૈનિકો તે પાણીના નાળાંમાં થઈને ઉપર ચઢી જાઓ, ‘અંધ તથા અપંગ,’ યબૂસીઓનો સંહાર કરો તેઓ દાઉદના શત્રુઓ છે.” તેઓએ મારી મશ્કરી કરતા કહ્યું હતું કે, “અંધ તથા અપંગ’ તે રાજમહેલમાં આવી શકતા નથી.”
हिन्दी2 शमूएल ५:८
उस दिन दाऊद ने कहा, “जो कोई यबूसियों को मारना चाहे, उसे चाहिये कि नाले से होकर चढ़े, और अंधे और लँगड़े जिनसे दाऊद मन से घिन करता है उन्हें मारे।” इससे यह कहावत चली, “ अंधे और लँगड़े महल में आने न पाएँगे ।”
