2 Samuel 2:28 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 2:28

So Joab blew a trumpet
Or caused one to be blown as a signal of a retreat:

and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more;
as soon as they heard the trumpet sound, the meaning of which they understood, they stepped at once, and left off their pursuit:

neither fought they any more;
that day, and perhaps no pitched battle afterwards; for none we read of, though the war continued after this a long time, and there might be often skirmishes, which greatly weakened Abner's party. See ( 2 Samuel 3:1 ) .

2 Samuel 2:28 In-Context

26 Y Abner dio voces a Joab, diciendo: 驴Consumir谩 el cuchillo perpetuamente? 驴No sabes t煤 que al cabo sigue amargura? 驴Hasta cu谩ndo no has de decir al pueblo que se vuelvan de seguir a sus hermanos?
27 Y Joab respondi贸: Vive Dios que si no hubieras hablado, ya desde esta ma帽ana el pueblo hubiera dejado de seguir a sus hermanos.
28 Entonces Joab toc贸 el cuerno, y todo el pueblo se detuvo, y no sigui贸 m谩s a los de Israel, ni pele贸 m谩s.
29 Y Abner y los suyos caminaron por la campi帽a toda aquella noche, y pasando el Jord谩n cruzaron por todo Bet-hor贸n, y llegaron al real.
30 Joab tambi茅n volvi贸 de seguir a Abner, y juntando todo el pueblo, faltaron de los siervos de David diecinueve hombres, y Asael.
