The man answered Joab, 'Not even for a thousand pieces of silver would I lay a hand on the king's son. We all heard the king give you, Abishai, and Ittai this command: Whatever happens, guard young Absalom — for my sake!'
The man said to Yoav, 'Even if a thousand pieces of silver were weighed into my hands, I would not stretch out my hand against the king's son — for in our own hearing the king commanded you and Avishay and Ittai: Protect the young man Avshalom — for my sake!'
And the man said unto Joab, Though I should receive a thousand shekels of silver in mine hand, yet would I not put forth mine hand against the king's son: for in our hearing the king charged thee and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Beware that none touch the young man Absalom.
The man replied, “Even if a thousand shekels of silver were weighed out into my hands, I would not raise my hand against the son of the king. For we heard the king command you and Abishai and Ittai, ‘Protect the young man Absalom for my sake.’
