2 Samuel 2:26-28
EasyEnglish Bible
26 Abner shouted to Joab, ‘We should stop fighting. We do not want to continue killing one another for ever. In the end, we would all be very sad. Please tell your men to stop chasing after their brothers.’
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.
