2 Samuel 2:26-28

New Century Version

²⁶ Abner shouted to Joab, “Must the sword kill forever? Surely you must know this will only end in sadness! Tell the people to stop chasing their own brothers!”

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.
