which spake:
etc. Dr. Kennicott's amended translation is as follows: "Who spake unto David, saying, Thou shalt not come in hither; for the blind and the lame shall drive thee away, by saying, David shall not come in hither" "And Davidª saidª ° on that¹ day,ª Whosoever¹ getteth upª ° to the gutter,ª and smitethª ° the Jebusites,ª and the lameª and the blind,ª [that are] hatedª ° of David'sª soul,ª [he shall be chief and captain]. Wherefore¹ ¹ they said,ª ° The blindª and the lameª shall not¹ comeª ° into¹ the house.ª" {2Sm 5:8}. "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:
"For¹ though¹ ye had smittenª ° the whole¹ armyª of the Chaldeansª that fightª ° against¹ you, and there remainedª ° [but] woundedª ° men² ¹ among them, [yet] should they rise¹ up² ° every manª in his tent,ª and burnª °¹ this¹ cityª with fire.ª" {Jer 37:10}
