New Testament

2 Samuel 2:27-32 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

27. Joab 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."

28. So Joab blew the trumpet; and all the people halted and pursued Israel no longer, nor did they continue to fight anymore.

29. Abner and his men then went through the Arabah all that night; so they crossed the Jordan, walked all morning, and came to Mahanaim.

30. Then Joab returned from following Abner; when he had gathered all the people together, nineteen of David's servants besides Asahel were missing.

31. But the servants of David had struck down many of Benjamin and Abner's men, so that three hundred and sixty men died.

32. And they took up Asahel and buried him in his father's tomb which was in Bethlehem. Then Joab and his men went all night until the day dawned at Hebron.
