2 Samuel 18:12-13
12But the manH376 saidH559 to JoabH3097, “Even ifH3863 I were to 1receiveH8254 a thousandH505 pieces of silverH3701 in my handH3709, I would not putH7971 outH7971 my handH3027 againstH413 the king’sH4428 sonH1121; for 2in our hearingH241 the kingH4428 commandedH6680 you, AbishaiH52, and IttaiH863, sayingH559, ‘3ProtectH8104 the youngH5288 manH5288 AbsalomH53 for me!’
13OtherwiseH176, if I had dealtH6213 treacherouslyH8267 against 4his lifeH5315 (and 5there is nothingH3605H1697H3808 hiddenH3582 from the kingH4428), then you yourselfH859 would have 6avoidedH3320H4480H5048 me.”
