2 Samuel 18:12-13
12But the man said to Joab, “Even if I were to 1receive a thousand pieces of silver in my hand, I would not put out my hand against the king’s son; for 2in our hearing the king commanded you, Abishai, and Ittai, saying, ‘3Protect the young man Absalom for me!’
13Otherwise, if I had dealt treacherously against 4his life (and 5there is nothing hidden from the king), then you yourself would have 6avoided me.”
