Ecclesiastes 9:14

God's Word

There was a small town with a few soldiers in it, and a powerful king came to attack it. He surrounded it and blockaded it.

See the chapter Copy

Later King Benhadad of Aram assembled his whole army. They went to Samaria and blockaded it.

I also have seen this example of wisdom under the sun, and it made a deep impression on me.

The time will come when enemy armies will build a wall to surround you and close you in on every side.

You may destroy trees that you know are not fruit trees. You may cut them down and use them in your blockade until you capture the city.
