"And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites, and through the subterraneous passage reacheth the lame and the blind, who hate the life of David, (because the blind and the lame said, he shall not come into the house,) shall be chief and captain.
So Joab, the son of Zeriah, went up first, and was chief."Except.

• They were so sure of their walls and of their impregnable stronghold that they did not judge it necessary to use sound, healthy men to repel the king's attack; even these disabled people would be well sufficient for this task, they thought. "But David took the stronghold of Zion" (2 Sam. 5:7). Not another word about it; the project succeeded as simply as if it had cost nothing. (“The Strong Hold of Zion: 2 Samuel 5:1-10” by H.L. Rossier)
• (Psa. 132:13-14)....(Psa. 87:1-2). This is what God says of Zion: He loved it. When His eyes looked out over the earth they rested on this special place in view of making it His dwelling place. "Why do ye look with envy, ye many-peaked mountains, upon the mount that God hath desired for His abode? Yea, Jehovah will dwell there forever" (Psa. 68:16). This is therefore the place which God chose, the place of His good pleasure, because this is where He in grace introduces and establishes His king. Rossier (“The Strong Hold of Zion: 2 Samuel 5:1-10” by H.L. Rossier)
