2 Samuel 17:11-13

Easy-to-Read Version

¹¹ “This is what I suggest: You must gather all the Israelites together from Dan to Beersheba.^[a] Then there will be many people, like the sand by the sea. Then you yourself must go into the battle. ¹² We will catch David wherever he is hiding and attack him with so many soldiers that they will be like the dew that covers the ground. We will kill David and all of his men—no one will be left alive. ¹³ But if David escapes into a city, all the Israelites can bring ropes to that city and pull its walls down into the valley. Not even a small stone will be left in that city.”
