Parallel

2 Samuel 18:12

Jewish Publication Society 1917 · Berean Standard Bible

And the man said unto Joab: ‘Though I should receive a thousand pieces of silver in my hand, yet would I not put forth my 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 (note: 1,000 shekels is approximately 25.1 pounds or 11.4 kilograms 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.’
