“And the king and his men went to Jerusalem unto the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land: which spake unto David, saying, Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking, David cannot come in hither.”
The king and his men marched to Jerusalem against the Jebusites — David moves immediately to claim Jerusalem from the Jebusites. The city, currently held by foreigners, becomes David's target. Jerusalem represents the physical and spiritual center that will unify Israel.
