2 Samuel 2:24-28

24But JoabH3097 and AbishaiH52H310 pursuedH7291 AbnerH74. By sunsetH8121H935, theyH1992 had goneH935 asH5704 far as the hillH1389 of AmmahH522 oppositeH5921H6440 GiahH1520 on the wayH1870 to the wildernessH4057 of GibeonH1391.

25The BenjamitesH1121H1144H310 ralliedH6908 to AbnerH74, formedH1961 a singleH259 unitH92, and took their standH5975 atopH5921H7218 aH259 hillH1389. 26Then AbnerH74 called outH7121 toH413 JoabH3097: “Must the swordH2719 devour foreverH398H5331? Do you notH3808 realizeH3045 thatH3588 this will only endH314 in bitternessH4751H1961? How longH5704H4970H3808 before you tellH559 the troopsH5971 to stopH7725 pursuingH310 their brothersH251?”

27“As surely as GodH430 livesH2416,” JoabH3097 repliedH559, “if you had notH3588H3884 spoken upH1696H3588H227, the troopsH5971H376 would have continuedH5927 pursuingH310 their brothersH251 until morningH1242.”

28So JoabH3097 blewH8628 the ram’s hornH7782, and allH3605 the troopsH5971 stoppedH5975; they noH3808 longerH5750H310 pursuedH7291 IsraelH3478H3808 or continuedH3254H5750 to fightH3898.
