And Joab {H3097} said {H559}, As God {H430} liveth {H2416}, unless {H3884} thou hadst spoken {H1696}, surely then in the morning {H1242} the people {H5971} had gone up {H5927} every one {H376} from following {H310} his brother {H251}.
Yo'av said, "As God lives, if you hadn't said something, there is no doubt that the people would have kept following their brothers all night long."
“As surely as God lives,” Joab replied, “if you had not spoken up, the troops would have continued pursuing their brothers until morning.”
And Joab said, As God liveth, if thou hadst not spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone away, nor followed every one his brother.
