27. Joab answered, "It's a good thing you spoke up. If you hadn't, the men would have kept on chasing their fellow Israelites until morning. And that's just as sure as God is alive."
28. So Joab blew a trumpet. All of the men stopped. They didn't chase Israel anymore. They didn't fight anymore either.
29. All that night Abner and his men marched through the Arabah Valley. They went across the Jordan River. They kept on going through the whole Bithron. Finally, they came to Mahanaim.
30. Then Joab returned from chasing Abner. He gathered all of his men together. Besides Asahel, only 19 of David's men were missing.
31. But David's men had killed 360 men from Benjamin who were with Abner.
