2Sa 17:12 — So shall we come upon him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the dew falleth on the ground: and of him and of all the men that [are] with him there shall not be left so much as one.

in some place

1Sa 23:23 |
|
we will light
|
|
This is a very beautiful and expressive figure. The dew in Palestine, and other warm climates, falls fast, sudden, and heavy; and it falls upon every spot of earth, so that not a blade of grass escapes it. It is therefore no inapt emblem of a numerous and active army; and it was, perhaps, for this reason that the Romans called their light armed forces rorarii. 1Ki 20:10; 2Ki 18:23; 2Ki 19:24; Isa 10:13,14; Oba 1:3 |
