How long will you refrain from telling the people to turn back from following their brothers? 27Joab said, As God lives, if you had not spoken, surely then the people would have gone away in the morning, each from following his brother. 28So Joab blew the trumpet; and all the people halted and pursued Israel no longer, nor did they continue to fight anymore. 29Abner and his men then went through the Arabah all that night; so they crossed the Jordan, walked all morning, and came to Mahanaim. 30Then Joab returned from following Abner; when he had gathered all the people together, nineteen of Davids servants besides Asahel were missing. 31But the servants of David had struck down many of Benjamin and Abners men, so that three hundred and sixty men died. 32And they took up Asahel and buried him in his fathers tomb which was in Bethlehem. Then Joab and his men went all night until the day dawned at Hebron.
