2 Samuel 2:25-27

Jubilee Bible 2000

²⁵ ¶ And the sons of Benjamin gathered themselves together in one troop with Abner and stood on the top of a hill.

²⁶ Then Abner called to Joab and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? Dost thou not know that it will be bitterness in the latter end? How long shall it be then before thou bid the people to return from following their brethren?

²⁷ And Joab replied, As God lives, if thou had not spoken, surely from this morning the people would have left off from following their brothers.
