Contextual Overview

²⁵ The men of Benjamin came to Abner, and all stood together at the top of the hill. ²⁶ Abner shouted to Joab, "Must the sword kill forever? Surely you must know this will only end in sadness! Tell the people to stop chasing their own brothers!" ²⁷ Then Joab said, "As surely as God lives, if you had not said anything, the people would have chased their brothers until morning." ²⁸ Then Joab blew a trumpet, and his people stopped chasing the Israelites. They did not fight them anymore. ²⁹ Abner and his men marched all night through the Jordan Valley. They crossed the Jordan River, and after marching all day, arrived at Mahanaim. ³⁰ After he had stopped chasing Abner, Joab came back and gathered the people together. Asahel and nineteen of David's men were missing. ³¹ But David's men had killed three hundred sixty Benjaminites who had followed Abner. ³² David's men took Asahel and buried him in the tomb of his father at Bethlehem. Then Joab and his men marched all night. The sun came up as they reached Hebron.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.
