2 Samuel 2:26-28

Easy-to-Read Version

²⁶ Abner shouted to Joab and said, “Must we fight and kill each other forever? Surely you know that this will only end in sadness. Tell the people to stop chasing their own brothers.”

²⁷ Then Joab said, “As surely as God is alive, if you had not said something, people would still be chasing their brothers in the morning.” ²⁸ So Joab blew a trumpet, and his people stopped chasing the Israelites. They did not try to fight the Israelites anymore.
