11Instead, I advise that all Israel from Dan to Beersheba— a multitude like the sand on the seashore — be gathered to you, and that you yourself lead them into battle.
12Then we will attack David wherever we find him, and we will descend on him like dew on the ground. And of all the men with him, not even one will remain.
13If he retreats to a city, all Israel will bring ropes to that city, and we will drag it down to the valley until not even a pebble can be found.”
— 2 Samuel 17:11-13
