^{2 Ref} and I will come on him while he is weary and weak-handed, and will make him afraid; and all the people who are with him shall flee; and I will strike the king only;

^{3 Ref} and I will bring back all the people to you: the man whom you seek is as if all returned: [so] all the people shall be in peace.
