Exegesis
The two successive prepositional clauses—ʿad hā-náḥal {עַד הַנַּחַל | ʿad hā-náḥal} ‘up to the valley’ and ʿad ăšer lōʾ nimṣāʾ šām {עַד אֲשֶׁר לֹא נִמְצָא שָׁם | ʿad ăšer lōʾ nimṣāʾ šām} ‘until there is not found there’—define both the extent and the absolute result of the action, with gam {גַּם | gam} ‘even/also’ intensifying the final tseʾôr {צְרוֹר | tseʾôr} ‘pebble’. The discourse moves from a conditional statement to collective execution and climaxes in a statement of total devastation, which English renders as a clear cause-and-effect progression.
In context — 2 Samuel 17:13
And if he withdraws into a city, then all Israel will bring ropes to that city, and we will drag it down to the stream until not even a pebble is found there.
