Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 1 Chronicles 11:5
And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, which [is] the city of David.
5. Thou shalt not come hither ] A longer speech of defiance is given in 2Sa 5:6 (see R.V. mg.) in which the Jebusites assert that their city is so strong by nature that a garrison of blind and lame is sufficient for its defence.
the castle of Zion ] R.V. the strong hold of Zion. The site of this (afterwards “the city of David”) is on the S.E. of the present city, on the S. of the Haram (the Temple area), and on a level lower than that of the Haram (Socin-Benzinger in Bdeker, p. 22; Sir C. Wilson in Smith’s Bible Dict. ed. 2, “Jerusalem,” p. 1648). For the less probable view that the stronghold of Zion was on the S.W. of the present city see C. R. Conder in Hastings’ Bible Dict., Art. “Jerusalem,” vol. ii. p. 591.

(5) Thou shalt not come hither.A jeer. (Comp. 2Sa. 5:6.) And one spake unto David, saying, Thou shalt not come in hither. The blind and the lame will have kept thee out! The Jebusites trusted in the strength of their fortress. Even the weakest defence would be sufficient to repel Davids assault.

castle of Zion
Heb. castle.
(1) Zion, the ancient Jebusite stronghold, is the southwest eminence in Jerusalem, called in Scripture the city of David, and associated with the Davidic royalty both historically and prophetically 1Ch 11:7; Psa 2:6; Isa 2:3. The word is often used of the whole city of Jerusalem considered as the city of God Psa 48:2; Psa 48:3 especially in passages referring to the future kingdom-age; Isa 1:27; Isa 2:3; Isa 4:1-6; Joe 3:16; Zec 1:16; Zec 1:17; Zec 8:3-8; Rom 11:26. In Heb 12:22 the word is used symbolically of heaven.
(2) In Deu 4:48 the name is given to a projection or peak of Mount Hermon.
