2 Samuel 18:11-15

11And JoabH3097 saidH559 to the manH376 that toldH5046 him, And behold, thou sawest [him], and whyH4069 didst thou not smite him there to the groundH776? and I would have givenH5414 thee tenH6235 silverH3701 pieces and a girdle.

12And the manH376 saidH559 to JoabH3097, Though I should receive a thousandH505 silverH3701 pieces in my handH3027, yet would I not put forthH7971 my handH3027 against the king's sonH1121; for in our hearing the kingH4428 charged thee and AbishaiH52 and IttaiH863, sayingH559, TakeH8104 care, whoever it be [of you], of the youngH5288 manH376 AbsalomH53.

13Or I should have actedH6213 falsely against mine ownH5315 lifeH5315, for there is no matterH1697 concealed from the kingH4428, and thou wouldest have set thyself against [me].

14Then saidH559 JoabH3097, I may not tarry thusH3651 with thee. And he tookH3947 threeH7969 spears in his handH3709, and thrustH8628 them into Absalom's body, while he was yetH5750 aliveH2416 in the midst of the terebinthH424.

15And tenH6235 youngH5288 menH5288 that boreH5375 Joab's armour surroundedH5437 and smote AbsalomH53, and killed him.
