Proverbs 21:22
A wise man scales the city of the mighty and pulls down the stronghold in which they trust.
Proverbs 24:6
Only with sound guidance should you wage war, and victory lies in a multitude of counselors.
Ecclesiastes 9:14–18
There was a small city with few men. A mighty king came against it, surrounded it, and built large siege ramps against it. / Now a poor wise man was found in the city, and he saved the city by his wisdom. Yet no one remembered that poor man. / And I said, “Wisdom is better than strength, but the wisdom of the poor man is despised, and his words are not heeded.”
Luke 14:31, 32
Or what king on his way to war with another king will not first sit down and consider whether he can engage with ten thousand men the one coming against him with twenty thousand? / And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.
