in some place: 1 Samuel 23:23

we will light: This is a very beautiful and expressive figure. The dew in Palestine, and other warm climates, falls fast, sudden, and heavy; and it falls upon every spot of earth, so that not a blade of grass escapes it. It is therefore no inapt emblem of a numerous and active army; and it was, perhaps, for this reason that the Romans called their light armed forces rorarii. 1 Kings 20:10, 2 Kings 18:23, 2 Kings 19:24, Isaiah 10:13, Isaiah 10:14, Obadiah 1:3

Gill's Notes on the Bible

and of him, and of all the men that [are] with him, there shall not be left so much as one; so that for the future Absalom would sit easy upon the throne, there being none left to molest him.
