Exegesis
The relative particle asher {אֲשֶׁר־ | ’a-šer-} ‘who’ introduces the subordinate clause specifying kol {כָּל | kāl} ‘all’ ha'am {הָעָ֣ם | hā-ʿām} ‘the people,’ and the prepositional phrase levado {לְבַדּֽוֹ | lə-vaḏ-dō} ‘alone’ confines the final action to the king alone.
In context — 2 Samuel 17:2
And I will come upon him when he is weary and weak-handed , and I will startle him , and all the people who are with him will flee, and I will strike the king alone.
