   In Joshua 10:6, the form occurs in Gibeon's appeal for Joshua to come up and save them while enemy kings have gathered against them; the APB renders the request with “quickly.” In 2 Samuel 17:16, the warning tells David not to remain overnight but to cross over at once, while Joshua 8:19 describes the ambush rising, entering the city, and setting it on fire in rapid succession.
