Exegesis
A poetic simile kaasher yipol hatal alhaadamah {כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר יִפֹּ֥ל הַטַּ֖ל עַל־הָאֲדָמָ֑ה | ka-ʼă-šer yi-ppōl ha-ṭal ʿal-hā-ʼă-dā-māh} ‘as when the dew falls upon the ground’ evokes overwhelming force, and the emphatic negative velo notar bo uvechol ha’anashim asherito gamechad {וְלֹֽא־נ֥וֹתַר בּ֛וֹ וּבְכָל־הָאֲנָשִׁ֥ים אֲשֶׁר־אִתּ֖וֹ גַּם־אֶחָֽד | wə-lōʼ nō-ṯar bō ʼu-və-khol hā-ʼănā-šîm ʼă-šer-ʼit-tô gam-ʼe-ḥād} ‘and not even one will be left among him or all his men’ uses gam ‘even’ to intensify total destruction. This structure mirrors the Hebrew’s layered clauses and simile to preserve the verse’s escalating tension.
In context — 2 Samuel 17:12
And we will come upon him in one of the places where he is found, and we will fall on him like dew falls upon the ground, and there will not be left in him or among all the men who are with him even one .
