²⁵ The men of Benjamin [^Cpart of Abner’s troops] came to Abner, and ·all stood together [regrouped; reunited] at the top of the hill.

²⁶ Abner shouted to Joab, “Must the sword ·kill [^Ldevour] forever? Surely you must know this will only end in ·sadness [bitterness]! ·Tell [^LHow long before you tell…?] the people to stop chasing their own brothers!”

²⁷ Then Joab said, “As surely as God lives, if you had not said anything, the people would have chased their brothers until morning.”
