2 Samuel 2:27-29

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁷ And Joab said, “As God lives, if you had not spoken, surely the people would have departed in the morning, each one returning from following his brother.”

²⁸ So Joab blew a trumpet. And all the people stood still, and no longer pursued after Israel. Nor did they fight anymore.

²⁹ And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plain, and went over the Jordan, and passed through all Bithron, until they came to Mahanaim.
