2 Samuel 2:28

²⁶And Abner called Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour perpetually? knowest thou not that it will be bitter at last? How long then wilt thou refuse to tell the people to turn from following our brethren?

²⁷And Joab said, As the Lord lives, if thou hadst not spoken, even from the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.

— 2 Samuel 2:28 —

²⁹And Abner and his men departed at evening, and went all that night, and crossed over Jordan, and went along the whole adjacent country, and they come to the camp.

³⁰And Joab returned from following Abner, and he assembled all the people, and there were missing of the people of David, nineteen men, and Asahel.
