2 Samuel 18:12-13

12The man replied to Joab, “Even if I were receiving a thousand pieces of silver, I would not strike the king’s son! In our very presence the king gave this order to you and Abishai and Ittai, ‘Protect the young man Absalom for my sake.’

13If I had acted at risk of my own life – and nothing is hidden from the king! – you would have abandoned me.”
