2 Samuel 2:27

27Joab answered, “As surely as God lives, if you had not spoken, the men would have continued pursuing them until morning.”

27Joab said, “As God lives, if you had not spoken, then the people of Judah certainly would have withdrawn in the morning, each from pursuing his brother.”

27Joab said, “As God lives, if you had not spoken, surely then the people would have gone away in the morning, each from following his brother.”

27Joab said, “As God lives, if you had not spoken, then the people certainly would have stopped pursuing their brothers in the morning.”

27“As surely as God lives,” Joab replied, “if you had not spoken up, the troops would have continued pursuing their brothers until morning.”

27Joab answered, “It’s a good thing you spoke up. If you hadn’t, the men would have kept on chasing them until morning. And that’s just as sure as God is alive.”
