2 Samuel 2:26-28

26Then AbnerH74 calledH7121 to JoabH3097 and saidH559, “Shall the swordH2719 devourH398 foreverH5331? Do you not knowH3045 that it will be bitterH4751 in the endH314? HowH4970 longH5704H4970 will you 1refrainH3808 from tellingH559 the peopleH5971 to turnH7725 backH7725 from followingH310 their brothersH251?”

27JoabH3097 saidH559, “As GodH430 livesH2416, ifH3588H3884 you had not spokenH1696, surelyH3588 thenH227 the peopleH5971 would have goneH5927 awayH5927 in the morningH1242, eachH376 from followingH310 his brotherH251.”

28So JoabH3097 blewH8628 the trumpetH7782; and allH3605 the peopleH5971 haltedH5975 and pursuedH7291 IsraelH3478 noH3808 longerH5750, 2norH3808 did they continueH3254 to fightH3898 anymoreH5750.
