  • Newari: “The Jebusites said to David, "You will never be able to enter this city!" But David conquered their fortress of Zion. So people call that city "The city of David."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “said to David, ‘You (plur.) can- not really -get-inside here in Jerusalem.’ But David and company indeed captured the heavily-guarded-place/fortress of Zion, which was-called later the City of David.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Those people said to David, ‘Your soldiers will not be able to get inside our city!’ But David’s soldiers captured the city, even though it had strong walls around it, and since then it has been called ‘The City of David’.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
