2 Samuel 17:11-13

Christian Standard Bible

¹¹ Instead, I advise that all Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba—as numerous as the sand by the sea^(A)—be gathered to you and that you personally go into battle. ¹² Then we will attack David wherever we find him, and we will descend on him like dew on the ground. Not even one will be left—neither he nor any of the men with him. ¹³ If he retreats to some city, all Israel will bring ropes to that city, and we will drag its stones^[a] into the valley until not even a pebble can be found there.”
