Contextual Overview

⁶Now the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who said to David, "You shall not enter here, for the blind and the lame [even the weakest among us] will turn you away"; they thought, "David cannot come in here [because the walls are impenetrable]." ⁷Nevertheless, David captured the stronghold (fortress) of Zion, that is, the City of David. ⁸Then David said on that day, "Whoever strikes the Jebusites, let him go up through the [underground] water shaft to strike the lame and the blind, who are detested by David's soul [because of their arrogance]." So [for that reason] they say, "The blind or the lame (Jebusites) shall not come into the [royal] house [of Israel]." ⁹So David lived in the stronghold and called it the City of David. And he built all around [the surrounding area] from the Millo [fortification] and inward. ¹⁰David became greater and greater, for the LORD, the God of hosts (armies), was with him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And David went on, and grew great,.... In honour and wealth, in fame and reputation, in subduing his enemies, obtaining conquests over them, and enlarging his dominions:

and the Lord God of hosts, of armies above and below,

[was] with him: to whom all his prosperity and success was owing. The Targum is,

"the Word of the Lord God of hosts was for his help,''

or his helper.
