2 Samuel 2:27-29

Lexham English Bible

²⁷ Joab said, “As God lives,^[a] for if you had not spoken, the people would surely have gone up in the morning, each one of them from following after^[b] his brother.” ²⁸ Then Joab blew on the trumpet and all the people stopped, and they no longer pursued after Israel, and they did not fight with them again.

²⁹ Then Abner and his men went through the Arabah all that night, and they crossed over the Jordan. They went all the forenoon and came to Mahanaim.
