2 Samuel 18:10-12

Tree of Life Version

¹⁰ Then a certain man saw it and told Joab saying, “Look, I saw Absalom hanging in an oak.”

¹¹ Then Joab said to his informant, “Look here, you saw him, so why didn’t you strike him there to the ground? I would have given you ten pieces of silver and a belt!”

¹² But the man said to Joab, “Even if I had 1,000 pieces of silver in my hand, I would not raise my hand against the king’s son; for in our hearing the king charged you, Abishai and Ittai saying, ‘Watch over the young man Absalom for me.’
