2 Samuel 2:26-31

26Then AbnerH74 calledH7121 to JoabH3097, and saidH559, Shall the swordH2719 devourH398 for everH7725? knowest thou notH3808 that it will be bitternessH4751 in the latterH314 endH5331? howH4970 longH5704 shall it be then, ere thou bid the peopleH5971 returnH7725 from followingH310 their brethrenH251?

27And JoabH3097 saidH559, As GodH430 liveth, ifH3588 thou hadst notH3588 spokenH1696, surelyH3588 then in the morningH1242 the peopleH5971 had goneH5927 awayH310, nor followedH310 everyH376 one his brotherH251.

28SoH3808 JoabH3097 blewH8628 the trumpetH7782, and allH3605 the peopleH5971 stoodH5975 stillH5750, and pursuedH7291 afterH310 IsraelH3478 noH3808 moreH5750, neitherH3808 foughtH3898 they anyH3605 moreH5750.

29And AbnerH74 and his menH376 wentH1980 allH3605 that nightH3915 throughH5674 the ArabahH6160; and they passedH5674 over JordanH3383, and wentH1980 throughH5674 allH3605 Bithron, and cameH935 to MahanaimH4266.

30And JoabH3097 returnedH7725 from followingH310 AbnerH74: and when he had gatheredH6908 allH3605 the peopleH5971 togetherH6908, there lacked of David’sH1732 servantsH5650 nineteenH6240 menH376 and AsahelH6214.

31But the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732 had smittenH5221 of BenjaminH1144, and of Abner’sH74 menH376, soH4191 that threeH7969 hundredH3967 and threescore menH376 diedH4191.
