2 Samuel 2:25-27

New Century Version

²⁵ The men of Benjamin came to Abner, and all stood together at the top of the hill.

²⁶ Abner shouted to Joab, “Must the sword kill forever? Surely you must know this will only end in sadness! 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.”
