2 Samuel 17:7-9
Common English Bible

Your father is a seasoned fighter. He won’t spend the night with his troops. 9 Even now he has probably hidden himself in one of the caves or some other place. When some of the troops[a] fall in the first attack, whoever hears it will say, ‘The soldiers who follow Absalom have been defeated!’
