To fetch about this form of speech, i.e. to propose mine, and his, and the people's desire of Absalom's restitution in this parabolical manner, in mine and my son's person. In the earth, or, in this land, in all thy kingdom; all the counsels and devices of thy subjects which have any relation to thee or thy affairs.

2 Samuel 14:20

20 To fetch about this form of speech hath thy servant Joab done this thing: and my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.
