2 Samuel 17:11-13

New Century Version

¹¹ “This is what I suggest: Gather all the Israelites from Dan to Beersheba.^[a] There will be as many people as grains of sand by the sea. Then you yourself must go into the battle. ¹² We will go to David wherever he is hiding. We will fall on him as dew falls on the ground. We will kill him and all of his men so that no one will be left alive. ¹³ If David escapes into a city, all the Israelites will bring ropes to that city and pull it into the valley. Not a stone will be left!”
