"Yea (כּי, profecto), I advise: let all Israel be gathered round thee from Dan to Beersheba (see at Jdg 20:1), numerous as the sand by the sea; and thou thyself go into the war." פניך, thy person, i.e., thou thyself be marching. The plural הלכים is used because of פניך. For בּ הלך, to enter into anything, see Kg1 19:4; Isa 45:16; Isa 46:2. קרב, war, the early translators have confounded with קרב. 2 Kings (2 Samuel) 17:12
