2 Samuel 2:26-27 ▼

26 And Abner called to Joab and said, “Shall the sword forever devour? Do you not know that it will be bitter in the end? And until when will you not say to the people to turn from after their brothers?”

27 And Joab said, “God lives, for unless you had spoken, surely then by the morning all the people would have pulled back from after their brothers.”
