2 Samuel 18:11-13
Amplified Bible
11 Joab said to the man who informed him, “You saw him! Why then did you not strike him there to the ground? [a]I would have given you ten pieces of silver and a belt.” 12 The man told Joab, “Even if I were to feel the weight of a thousand pieces of silver in my hands, I would not put out my hand against the king’s son; for [b]we all heard the king command you, Abishai, and Ittai, saying, ‘Protect the young man Absalom, for my sake.’ 13 Otherwise, if I had acted treacherously against his life (for nothing is hidden from the king) you yourself would have [c]taken sides against me.”
