Chapter 5

KJV - 2 Samuel 5:8

And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind, that are hated of David’s soul, he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.

On that day, David said that anyone who climbs up to the gutter and defeats the Jebusites, as well as the lame and blind whom he really doesn't like, would become the leader. So, they decided that those who are blind or lame shouldn't enter the house.
