24 And Joab and Abishai will pursue after Abner: and the sun went down and they came even to the hill of terror, which was by the face of Giah, the way of the desert of Gibeon. 25 And the sons of Benjamin will gather together after Abner, and they will be for one band, and they will stand upon the head of one hill. 26 And Abner will call to Joab and say, Shall the sword consume forever? knewest thou not that it will be bitter at the last? and how long wilt thou not say to the people to turn back from after their brethren? 27 And Joab will say, God lives if thou spakest not, for then from the morning the people went up, each from after his brother. 28 And Joab will strike upon the trumpet, and all the people will stand, and no more pursue after Israel, and they will no more add to fight. 29 And Abner and his men went in the sterile region all that night, and they will pass over Jordan and will go to all Bithron, and will come to the two camps. 30 And Joab turned back from after Abner: and he will gather all the people together and they will review from the servants of David nineteen men and Asahel. 31 And the servants of David struck from Benjamin and upon the men of Abner, three hundred and sixty men died. 32 And they will lift up Asahel and bury him in the grave of his father, which was in the House of Bread. And Joab and his men will go all night and it will shine to them in Hebron. 2 Samuel 2:24-32, Smith's Literal Translation. Public domain.
