⁶³ As for the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah couldn't drive them out: but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem to this day.

²¹ The children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.

⁸ The children of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.

⁶ The king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke to David, saying, Except you take away the blind and the lame, you shall not come in here; thinking, David can't come in here.

⁷ Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion; the same is the city of David.

⁸ David said on that day, Whoever strikes the Jebusites, let him get up to the watercourse, and [strike] the lame and the blind, who are hated of David's soul. Therefore they say, There are the blind and the lame; he can't come into the house.

⁹ David lived in the stronghold, and called it the city of David. David built round about from Millo and inward.

⁴ David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (the same is Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.

⁵ The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, You shall not come in here. Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion; the same is the city of David.

⁶ David said, Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made chief.

⁷ David lived in the stronghold; therefore they called it the city of David.

⁸ He built the city round about, from Millo even round about; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.

¹⁴ For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.

¹⁵ For I don't know what I am doing. For I don't practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.

¹⁶ But if what I don't desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good.

¹⁷ So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.

¹⁸ For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don't find it doing that which is good.

¹⁹ For the good which I desire, I don't do; but the evil which I don't desire, that I practice.

²⁰ But if what I don't desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.

²¹ I find then the law, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present.
