וַֽיִּרְדְּפוּ יוֹאָב וַאֲבִישַׁי אַחֲרֵי אַבְנֵר וְהַשֶּׁמֶשׁ בָּאָה וְהֵמָּה בָּאוּ עַד־גִּבְעַת אַמָּה אֲשֶׁר עַל־פְּנֵי־גִיחַ דֶּרֶךְ מִדְבַּר גִּבְעֽוֹן
But Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner; and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lieth before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
וַיִּֽתְקַבְּצוּ בְנֵֽי־בִנְיָמִן אַחֲרֵי אַבְנֵר וַיִּהְיוּ לַאֲגֻדָּה אֶחָת וַיַּעַמְדוּ עַל רֹאשׁ־גִּבְעָה אֶחָֽת
And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one band, and stood on the top of a hill.
וַיִּקְרָא אַבְנֵר אֶל־יוֹאָב וַיֹּאמֶר הֲלָנֶצַח תֹּאכַל חֶרֶב הֲלוֹא יָדַעְתָּה כִּֽי־מָרָה תִהְיֶה בָּאַחֲרוֹנָה וְעַד־מָתַי לֹֽא־תֹאמַר לָעָם לָשׁוּב מֵאַחֲרֵי אֲחֵיהֶֽם
Then Abner called to Joab, and said: ‘Shall the sword devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the end? how long shall it be then, ere thou bid the people return from following their brethren?’
וַיֹּאמֶר יוֹאָב חַי הָֽאֱלֹהִים כִּי לוּלֵא דִּבַּרְתָּ כִּי אָז מֵֽהַבֹּקֶר נַעֲלָה הָעָם אִישׁ מֵאַחֲרֵי אָחִֽיו
And Joab said: ‘As God liveth, if thou hadst not spoken, surely then only after the morning the people had gone away, every one from following his brother.’
וַיִּתְקַע יוֹאָב בַּשּׁוֹפָר וַיַּֽעַמְדוּ כָּל־הָעָם וְלֹֽא־יִרְדְּפוּ עוֹד אַחֲרֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְלֹֽא־יָסְפוּ עוֹד לְהִלָּחֵֽם
So Joab blew the horn, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.
