2 Samuel 18:16 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 18:16

And Joab blew the trumpet
As the sign of a retreat:

and the people returned from pursuing after Israel;
upon the sound of the trumpet, the meaning of which they understood:

for Joab held back the people:
from shedding any more blood; the head of the conspiracy being removed, the thing would be crushed at once; and Joab neither chose to slay any more, nor take any prisoners, to be tried as traitors, being unawares, without thought, drawn into this rebellion.

2 Samuel 18:16 In-Context

14 Então disse Joabe: Não posso demorar-me assim contigo aqui. E tomou na mão três dardos, e traspassou com eles o coração de Absalão, estando ele ainda vivo no meio do carvalho.
15 E o cercaram dez mancebos, que levavam as armas de Joabe; e feriram a Absalão, e o mataram.
16 Então tocou Joabe a buzina, e o povo voltou de perseguir a Israel; porque Joabe deteve o povo.
17 E tomaram a Absalão e, lançando-o numa grande cova no bosque, levantaram sobre ele mui grande montão de pedras. E todo o Israel fugiu, cada um para a sua tenda.
18 Ora, Absalão, quando ainda vivia, tinha feito levantar para si a coluna que está no vale do rei; pois dizia: Nenhum filho tenho para conservar a memoria o meu nome. E deu o seu próprio nome �quela coluna, a qual até o dia de hoje se chama o Pilar de Absalão.
