2 Samuel 2:27-29

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁷ Joab replied, ‘As surely as God lives, I agree! If you had not spoken, our men would have chased you all through the night. They would not have stopped until the morning.’

²⁸ So Joab made a loud noise with the trumpet.^[a] Then all his men stopped where they were. They did not continue to chase after the men of Israel. They stopped fighting.

²⁹ Abner and his men marched all that night through the Jordan Valley. They crossed over the Jordan River. They continued to march all the next morning until they arrived back at Mahanaim.
