2 Samuel 2:26-27 ▼

26 Then Abner called out to Joab, |Must the sword devour forever? Don't you realize that this will turn bitter in the end? When will you tell the people to turn aside from pursuing their brothers?|

27 Joab replied, |As surely as God lives, if you had not said this, it would have been morning before the people would have abandoned pursuit of their brothers!|
