Midrash for Sanhedrin 189:12
ונימא ליה איהו אין חבוש מוציא עצמו מבית האסורין
wouldst thou rather thy line to end, or be delivered unto the enemy's hand? He replied: 'Sovereign of the Universe! I would rather be delivered into the enemy's hand than that my line should end.'<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., 'thy seed to cease'. ');"><sup>22</sup></span> One day, when he [David] ventured forth to Sekhor Bizzae,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The name of a place (Rashi). Other interpretations: 'to fill up breaches'; ['to limit', the word being a composite: 'net and falcon' (Levy)]. ');"><sup>23</sup></span>
