26 Abner appela Joab, et dit: L’épée dévorera-t-elle toujours? Ne sais-tu pas qu’il y aura de l’amertume à la fin? Jusques à quand tarderas-tu à dire au peuple de ne plus poursuivre ses frères?

27 Joab répondit: Dieu est vivant! Si tu n’eusses parlé, le peuple n’aurait pas cessé avant le matin de poursuivre ses frères.

28 Et Joab sonna de la trompette, et tout le peuple s’arrêta; ils ne poursuivirent plus Israël, et ils ne continuèrent pas à se battre.

29 Abner et ses gens marchèrent toute la nuit dans la plaine; ils passèrent le Jourdain, traversèrent en entier le Bithron, et arrivèrent à Mahanaïm.

30 Joab revint de la poursuite d’Abner, et rassembla tout le peuple; il manquait dix-neuf hommes des gens de David, et Asaël.
