2 Samuel 18:11-13

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹¹ Joab said to the man, You saw him! Why did you not strike him down to the ground? I would have given you ten shekels of silver and a girdle.

¹² The man told Joab, Though I should receive 1,000 pieces of silver, yet I would not put forth my hand against the king’s son. For in our hearing the king charged you, Abishai, and Ittai, Have a care, whoever you be, for the young man Absalom.

¹³ Otherwise, if I had dealt falsely against his life—for nothing is hidden from the king—you yourself would have taken sides against me.
