2 Samuel 18:11-15

11And JoabH3097 saidH559 unto the manH376 that toldH5046 him, And, behold, thou sawestH7200 him, and why didst thou not smiteH5221 him there to the groundH776? and I would have givenH5414 thee tenH6235 shekels of silverH3701, and aH259 girdleH2290.

12And the manH376 saidH559 unto JoabH3097, ThoughH3863 I should receiveH8254 a thousandH505 shekels of silverH3701 in mine handH3709, yet would I not put forthH7971 mine handH3027 against the king’sH4428 sonH1121: for in our hearingH241 the kingH4428 chargedH6680 thee and AbishaiH52 and IttaiH863, sayingH559, BewareH8104 that none touch the young manH5288 AbsalomH53.12

13OtherwiseH176 I should have wroughtH6213 falsehoodH8267 against mine own lifeH5315: for there is no matterH1697 hidH3582 from the kingH4428, and thou thyself wouldest have setH3320 thyself against me.

14Then saidH559 JoabH3097, I may not tarryH3176 thus with theeH6440. And he tookH3947 threeH7969 dartsH7626 in his handH3709, and thrustH8628 them through the heartH3820 of AbsalomH53, while he was yet aliveH2416 in the midst of the oakH424.34

15And tenH6235 young menH5288 that bareH5375 Joab’sH3097 armourH3627 compassed aboutH5437 and smoteH5221 AbsalomH53, and slewH4191 him.
