2 Samuel 18:11-13
11Then JoabH3097 saidH559 to the manH376 who had informedH5046 him, “So beholdH2009, you sawH7200 him! WhyH4069 then did you not strikeH5221 him thereH8033 to the groundH776? And it would have been 1my dutyH5921 to giveH5414 you tenH6235 pieces of silverH3701 and a beltH2290.”
12But the manH376 saidH559 to JoabH3097, “Even ifH3863 I were to 2receiveH8254 a thousandH505 pieces of silverH3701 in my handH3709, I would not putH7971 outH7971 my handH3027 againstH413 the king’sH4428 sonH1121; for 3in our hearingH241 the kingH4428 commandedH6680 you, AbishaiH52, and IttaiH863, sayingH559, ‘4ProtectH8104 the youngH5288 manH5288 AbsalomH53 for me!’
13OtherwiseH176, if I had dealtH6213 treacherouslyH8267 against 5his lifeH5315 (and 6there is nothingH3605H1697H3808 hiddenH3582 from the kingH4428), then you yourselfH859 would have 7avoidedH3320H4480H5048 me.”
