New Defender's Study Bible Notes
5:6 went to Jerusalem. David’s first priority as king over all Israel was to take Jerusalem from the Jebusites and make it his capital (II Samuel 5:9). Jerusalem included Mount Moriah, where Abraham had offered Isaac (Genesis 22:1-19) and was strategically located on the border between Judah and Benjamin.
5:6 the inhabitants of the land. The Jebusites were a tribe descended from Mizraim, the son of Ham (Genesis 10:16), and had been in Canaan since at least the time of Abraham (Genesis 15:21). Joshua had been unable to drive them out of Jerusalem, their capital, and neither had the hosts of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, who had been given that region of the promised land (Joshua 15:20-62; but note Joshua 15:63; see also Judges 1:21). As a result, the Jebusites were quite smug in their fortress, mocking David by saying their blind and lame could repel his forces.
