VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹¹ Joab asked the man who was reporting to him, "What! You saw him? Why didn't you kill him right then and there? I would've given you ten pieces of silver and a warrior's sash!" ¹² The man told Joab: "Even if I felt the weight of twenty pounds of silver in my hand, I would not raise my hand against the king's son. We heard the order the king gave you, Abishai, and Ittai. Protect the young man Absalom for my sake. ¹³ And if I had falsely put him to death and nothing may be kept secret from the king, you would have had nothing to do with me.
