2 Samuel 2:27-29

New Century Version

²⁷ Then Joab said, “As surely as God lives, if you had not said anything, the people would have chased their brothers until morning.” ²⁸ Then Joab blew a trumpet, and his people stopped chasing the Israelites. They did not fight them anymore.

²⁹ Abner and his men marched all night through the Jordan Valley. They crossed the Jordan River, and after marching all day, arrived at Mahanaim.
