7 Porém Davi tomou a fortaleza de Sião, a qual é a cidade de Davi.

8 E disse Davi aquele dia: Quem chegará até os canais, e ferirá ao jebuseu, e aos coxos e cegos, aos quais a alma de Davi aborrece? Por isto se disse: Cego nem coxo não entrará em casa.

9 E Davi morou na fortaleza e pôs-lhe por nome a Cidade de Davi: e edificou ao redor, desde Milo para dentro.

10 E Davi ia crescendo e aumentando-se, e o SENHOR Deus dos exércitos era com ele.

11 E Hirão rei de Tiro enviou também embaixadores a Davi, e madeira de cedro, e carpinteiros, e pedreiros para os muros, os quais edificaram a casa de Davi.
