27Joab said, |As God lives, if you had not spoken, surely then in the morning the people would have gone away, and not each followed his brother.|
27Joab said, |As God lives, if you had not spoken, surely then in the morning the people would have gone away, and not each followed his brother.|
24 But Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lies before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
25 The children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one band, and stood on the top of a hill.
26 Then Abner called to Joab, and said, |Shall the sword devour forever? Don't you know that it will be bitterness in the latter end? How long shall it be then, before you ask the people to return from following their brothers?|
27 Joab said, |As God lives, if you had not spoken, surely then in the morning the people would have gone away, and not each followed his brother.|
28 So Joab blew the trumpet; and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.
29 Abner and his men went all that night through the Arabah; and they passed over the Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and came to Mahanaim.
2:27Joab answered, "As surely as God lives, if you had not spoken, the men would have continued the pursuit of their brothers until morning. "
2:27And Joab said, [As] God liveth, unless thou hadst spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.
2:27And Joab said: As the Lord liveth, if thou hadst spoke sooner, even in the morning the people should have retired from pursuing after their brethren.
2:27And Joab said, As God liveth, if thou hadst not spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone away, nor followed every one his brother.
