Commentary on 2 Samuel 18:16

Theological / Devotional

Joab blew the trumpet. The blast on the trumpet was the signal that the war was over (see ch. 2:28; 20:22). The death of Absalom ended the struggle. With the leader of the revolt out of the way, there was no need of further bloodshed; so Joab immediately called off the battle.
