to_o thou_o be_v to_o assemble_v all_o the_o people_n from_o dan_n to_o beersheba_n and_o to_o gather_v a_o army_n like_o the_o sand_n that_o be_v on_o the_o seashore_n for_o multitude_n and_o this_o be_v the_o way_n to_o make_v sure_a work_n in_o a_o matter_n of_o such_o great_a consequence_n as_o this_o be_v and_o when_o thou_o have_v get_v such_o a_o vast_a army_n together_o than_o i_o advise_v thou_o to_o go_v out_o thyself_o in_o person_n and_o command_v they_o as_o general_n and_o so_o thou_o thyself_o will_v have_v the_o honour_n of_o the_o victory_n and_o thy_o valour_n and_o conduct_n will_v be_v renown_v in_o the_o world_n and_o when_o thou_o have_v get_v such_o a_o vast_a army_n under_o thy_o command_n fear_v not_o we_o shall_v find_v thy_o father_n out_o where_o ever_o he_o be_v for_o as_o dew_v when_o it_o fall_v overspread_v the_o face_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n so_o we_o shall_v overspread_v the_o face_n of_o the_o whole_a country_n and_o if_o he_o be_v any_o where_o in_o the_o field_n we_o shall_v light_v upon_o he_o and_o neither_o he_o nor_o any_o that_o be_v with_o he_o shall_v escape_v we_o and_o if_o he_o be_v flee_v into_o any_o city_n we_o will_v bring_v

but_o his_o main_a end_n be_v to_o gain_v time_n know_v that_o in_o a_o little_a time_n such_o a_o vast_a army_n can_v not_o be_v gather_v together_o that_o so_o david_n in_o the_o mean_a while_n
