Et reversi dixerunt ei: Non ascendat omnis populus, sed duo vel tria millia virorum pergant, et deleant civitatem: quare omnis populus frustra vexabitur contra hostes paucissimos?
And returning, they said to him: Let not all the people go up, but let two or three thousand men go, and destroy the city: why should all the people be troubled in vain, against enemies that are very few?
Et reverte dic ad illo: non omni populo ascende, sed duo vel tre mile de viros perge, et dele civitate: quare omni populo frustra vexa contra hostes paucissimo?
