2 Samuel 18:11-13
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 18
11
Then Joab said to the man who had informed him, 'So behold, you saw
him!
Why then did you not strike him there to the ground? And
it would have been
my duty to give you ten
pieces
of silver and a belt.'
12
But the man said to Joab, 'Even if I were to receive a thousand
pieces of
silver in my hand, I would not put out my hand against the king’s son; for in our hearing the king commanded you, Abishai, and Ittai, saying, ‘ Protect the young man Absalom for me!’
13
Otherwise, if I had dealt treacherously against his life (and there is nothing hidden from the king), then you yourself would have avoided
me.
'
King James Version
Chapter 18
11
And Joab said unto the man that told him, And, behold, thou sawest him, and why didst thou not smite him there to the ground? and I would have given thee ten shekels of silver, and a girdle.
12
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.
13
Otherwise I should have wrought falsehood against mine own life: for there is no matter hid from the king, and thou thyself wouldest have set thyself against me.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 18
11
"You just saw him!" Joab exclaimed. "Why didn’t you strike him to the ground right there? I would have given you ten silver pieces and a belt!"
12
The man replied to Joab, "Even if I had the weight of a thousand pieces of silver in my hand, I would not raise my hand against the king’s son. For we heard the king command you, Abishai, and Ittai, ‘Protect the young man Absalom for me.’
13
If I had jeopardized my own life—and nothing is hidden from the king—you would have abandoned me."
New Living Translation
Chapter 18
11
What?' Joab demanded. 'You saw him there and didn’t kill him? I would have rewarded you with ten pieces of silver and a hero’s belt!'
12
I would not kill the king’s son for even a thousand pieces of silver, ' the man replied to Joab. 'We all heard the king say to you and Abishai and Ittai, ‘For my sake, please spare young Absalom.’
13
And if I had betrayed the king by killing his son — and the king would certainly find out who did it — you yourself would be the first to abandon me.'
English Standard Version
Chapter 18
11
Joab said to the man who told him, "What, you saw him! Why then did you not strike him there to the ground? I would have been glad to give you ten pieces of silver and a belt."
12
But the man said to Joab, "Even if I felt in my hand the weight of a thousand pieces of silver, I would not reach out my hand against the king 's son, for in our hearing the king commanded you and Abishai and Ittai, ‘For my sake protect the young man Absalom.’
13
On the other hand, if I had dealt treacherously against his life (and there is nothing hidden from the king), then you yourself would have stood aloof."
New International Version
Chapter 18
11
Joab said to the man who had told him this, "What! You saw him? Why didn’t you strike him to the ground right there? Then I would have had to give you ten shekels of silver and a warrior’s belt."
12
But the man replied, "Even if a thousand shekels were weighed out into my hands, I would not lay a hand on the king’s son. In our hearing the king commanded you and Abishai and Ittai, ‘Protect the young man Absalom for my sake. ’
13
And if I had put my life in jeopardy —and nothing is hidden from the king—you would have kept your distance from me."
New King James Version
Chapter 18
11
So Joab said to the man who told him, “You just saw
him!
And why did you not strike him there to the ground? I would have given you ten
shekels
of silver and a belt.”
12
But the man said to Joab, “Though I were to receive a thousand
shekels
of silver in my hand, I would not raise my hand against the king’s son. For in our hearing the king commanded you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, ‘Beware lest anyone
touch
the young man Absalom!’
13
Otherwise I would have dealt falsely against my own life. For there is nothing hidden from the king, and you yourself would have set yourself against
me.
