2 Samuel 2:27-29

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁷ Joab said, As God lives, if you had not spoken, surely the men would have stopped pursuing their brethren in the morning.

²⁸ So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the people stood still and pursued Israel no more, nor did they fight any more.

²⁹ Abner and his men went all night through the Arabah [plain], crossed the Jordan, and went through the whole Bithron [district of ravines] and came to Mahanaim.
