2 Samuel 2:24-27 ▼

24 But Joab and Abishai chased Abner. When the sun went down, they came to the hill of Ammah, opposite Giah on the road from Gibeon to the desert.

25 The men of Benjamin rallied behind Abner, banding together and taking their position on top of a hill.

26 Then Abner called to Joab, |Should this slaughter go on forever? Don't you know this will end in bitterness? How long will it be before you will call off your troops from chasing their relatives?|

27 Joab answered, |I solemnly swear, as God lives, if you had not spoken, the men would not have stopped chasing their relatives until morning.|
