2 Samuel 2:25-27
Lexham English Bible
25 The descendants[a] of Benjamin rallied after Abner, and they became as one fighting group and stood on the top of a certain hill. 26 Then Abner called to Joab and said, “Will the sword devour forever? Do you not know that there will be bitterness in the end? How long[b] will you not tell the people to turn away from pursuing[c] their brothers?” 27 Joab said, “As God lives,[d] for if you had not spoken, the people would surely have gone up in the morning, each one of them from following after[e] his brother.”
