II Samuel 17:12 Commentary: Rashi, Rambam, Ibn Ezra & More

וּבָ֣אנוּ אֵלָ֗יו באחת [בְּאַחַ֤ד] הַמְּקוֹמֹת֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר נִמְצָ֣א שָׁ֔ם וְנַ֣חְנוּ עָלָ֔יו כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר יִפֹּ֥ל הַטַּ֖ל עַל־הָאֲדָמָ֑ה וְלֹֽא־נ֥וֹתַר בּ֛וֹ וּבְכָל־הָאֲנָשִׁ֥ים אֲשֶׁר־אִתּ֖וֹ גַּם־אֶחָֽד׃

So shall we come upon him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the dew falleth on the ground; and of him and of all the men that are with him we will not leave so much as one.

Rashi on II Samuel

And we will encamp upon him. We will encamp upon him language [denoting] camping as [we find], "It camped within the entire boorder of Mitzraim"2Shemos 10:14. [and] "Arom has camped opposite Ephraim."3Yeshayohu 7:2.
