"The children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one band, and stood on the top of a hill."
— 2 Samuel 2:25, World English Bible
“And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of an hill.”
“And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one band, and stood on the top of a hill. ”
“The Benjaminites formed their ranks behind Abner and were like a single army, standing at the top of a certain hill.”
“And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together to Abner: and being joined in one body, they stood on the top of a hill.”
“And the men of Benjamin came together after Abner in one band, and took their places on the top of a hill.”
“And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of an hill.”
Abner said again to Asahel, "Turn aside from following me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then should I hold up my face to Joab your brother?"
However he refused to turn aside. Therefore Abner with the back end of the spear struck him in the body, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place. It happened, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.
But Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lies before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
The children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one band, and stood on the top of a hill.
Then Abner called to Joab, and said, "Shall the sword devour forever? Don't you know that it will be bitterness in the latter end? How long shall it be then, before you ask the people to return from following their brothers?"
Joab said, "As God lives, if you had not spoken, surely then in the morning the people would have gone away, and not each followed his brother."
So Joab blew the trumpet; and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.
