2 Samuel 17:2-3

2 I will come upon him while he is ^aweary and discouraged and throw him into a panic, and all the people who are with him will flee. ^bI will strike down only the king, 3 and I will bring all the people back to you as a bride comes home to her husband. You seek the life of only one man, ^{▼▼Septuagint; Hebrew back to you. Like the return of the whole is the man whom you seek} and all the people will be at peace.”
