2 Samuel 18:11
Jewish Publication Society 1917 · Berean Standard Bible
And Joab said unto the man that told him: ‘And, behold, thou sawest it, and why didst thou not smite him there to the ground? and I would have had to give thee ten pieces of silver, and a girdle.’
“You just saw him!” Joab exclaimed. “Why did you not strike him to the ground right there? I would have given you ten shekels of silver (note: 10 shekels is approximately 4 ounces or 114 grams of silver.) and a warrior’s belt!”
