2 Samuel 18:11-15

11And JoabH3097 saidH559 unto the manH376 that toldH5046 him, And, behold, thou sawest it, and whyH4069 didst thou not smite him there to the groundH776? and I would have givenH5414 thee tenH6235 pieces of silverH3701, and a girdle. 12And the manH376 saidH559 unto JoabH3097, Though I should receive a thousandH505 pieces of silverH3701 in my handH3027, yet would I not put forthH7971 my handH3027 against the king’sH4428 sonH1121: for in our hearing the kingH4428 charged thee and AbishaiH52 and IttaiH863, sayingH559, Beware that none touch the youngH5288 manH376 AbsalomH53. 13Otherwise if I had dealt falsely against his lifeH5315 (and there is no matterH1697 hid from the kingH4428), then thou thyself wouldest have set thyself against me. 14Then saidH559 JoabH3097, I may not tarry thusH3651 with thee. And he tookH3947 threeH7969 darts in his handH3709, and thrustH8628 them through the heartH3820 of AbsalomH53, while he was yetH5750 aliveH2416 in the midst of the oakH424. 15And tenH6235 youngH5288 menH5288 that bare Joab’s armorH3627 compassed about and smote AbsalomH53, and slew him.
