Then Joab blew a trumpet to signal his troops to stop chasing Israel's soldiers.
She went to the people of the town and talked them into doing it. They cut off Sheba's head and threw it to Joab. Joab blew a signal on his trumpet, and the soldiers returned to their homes. Joab went back to David in Jerusalem.
Joab took his trumpet and blew the signal for his soldiers to stop chasing the soldiers of Israel. At once, the fighting stopped.
If a bugle call isn't clear, how would you know to get ready for battle?
Ten of Joab's bodyguards came over and finished him off.
And when the Israelite soldiers saw that their leader was dead, they went back home.
