2 Samuel 17:9-11
English Standard Version
9 Behold, even now he has hidden himself in one of the pits or in some other place. And as soon as some of the people fall[a] at the first attack, whoever hears it will say, ‘There has been a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom.’ 10 Then even the valiant man, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will utterly (A)melt with fear, for all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man, and that those who are with him are valiant men. 11 But my counsel is that all Israel be gathered to you, (B)from Dan to Beersheba, (C)as the sand by the sea for multitude, and that you go to battle in person.
