So Joab blew the trumpet, and all the people halted and no longer pursued Israel, nor did they continue to fight anymore.

So David and all the house of Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with joyful shouting and the sound of the trumpet.

But Absalom sent spies throughout the tribes of Israel, saying, “As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, ‘Absalom is king in Hebron!’”

Then Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing Israel, for Joab restrained the people.

Sheba’s Revolt

Now a worthless man happened to be there whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjaminite; and he blew the trumpet and said, “We have no share in David, Nor do we have an inheritance in the son of Jesse; Every man to his tents, Israel!”

Then the woman wisely came to all the people. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri and threw it to Joab. So he blew the trumpet, and they were dispersed from the city, each to his tent. Joab also returned to the king at Jerusalem.
