THE HOLY BIBLE Douay-Rheims

Second Book of Kings (Author Compiled by Isaias from records of Samuel, David, Nathan, and Gad.)

5:8For David had offered that day a reward to whosoever should strike the Jebusites and get up to the gutters of the tops of the houses, and take away the blind and the lame that hated the soul of David: therefore it is said in the proverb: The blind and the lame shall not come into the temple.
