That is where every inhabitant of Bethulia draws water. Thirst will finish them off and they will give up their town. Meanwhile we and our people will climb the nearby summits and camp on them as a forward guard, so that not one man gets out of that town.
In context
11So, master, do not fight them the way a pitched battle is fought, and not one man of your people will fall. 12Stay where you are in your camp, keeping every man of your force intact, and let your servants take control of the water spring that runs out of the mountain’s root. 13That is where every inhabitant of Bethulia draws water. Thirst will finish them off and they will give up their town. Meanwhile we and our people will climb the nearby summits and camp on them as a forward guard, so that not one man gets out of that town. 14They will waste away with hunger — they, their wives, and their children — and before ever a sword reaches them they will be laid out in the streets where they live. 15So you will repay them with evil for rebelling and for not coming out to meet you in peace.”
