2 Samuel 17:10-12
International Standard Version
10 Then even men who would otherwise be as brave as lions will be scared, because every Israeli knows your father is a mighty man, and they know his men are valiant! 11 So here’s my advice: Muster everybody from one end of the country to the other![a] You’ll have an army in number like the sand on the seashore! Then you’ll go into battle! 12 We’ll go find David wherever he’s hiding. We’ll fall on him like dew on the ground! We’ll kill him and all of his men, and we won’t leave even one man alive!
