2 Samuel 2:27-29

International Children’s Bible

²⁷ Then Joab said, “If you had not said anything, the people would have chased their brothers until morning. This is as sure as God is alive.” ²⁸ Then Joab blew a trumpet, and his people stopped chasing the Israelites. They did not try to fight them anymore.

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