2 Samuel 17:11-13
International Children’s Bible
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 catch David where he is hiding. We will fall on him as dew falls on the ground. We will kill him and all of his men. No one will be left alive. 13 What if David escapes into a city? Then all the Israelites will bring ropes to that city. We’ll pull that city into the valley. There won’t be even a small stone left there!”
