SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:16
Entonces Joab tocó la trompeta, y el pueblo se volvió de seguir a Israel, porque Joab detuvo al pueblo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 18:16
Verse 16. Joab blew the trumpet] He knew that the rebellion was now extinguished by the death of Absalom; and was not willing that any farther slaughter should be made of the deluded people.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 16. And Joab blew the trumpet , etc.] 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-18 - Let young people look upon Absalom, hanging on a tree, accursed forsaken of heaven and earth; there let them read the Lord's abhorrenc of rebellion against parents. Nothing can preserve men from misery an contempt, but heavenly wisdom and the grace of God.
