2 Samuel 2:27-29

Modern English Version

²⁷ Joab responded, “As God lives, I assure you that if you had not said this, the people would have each pursued his brother throughout the night.”

²⁸ So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the people stood still. They pursued Israel no longer, nor did they continue to fight anymore.

²⁹ So Abner and his men traveled through the Arabah all that night, crossed the Jordan, and marched all morning until they returned to Mahanaim.
