Parallel
2 Samuel 18:12
World English Bible British Edition · Berean Standard Bible
The man said to Joab, “Though I should receive a thousand pieces of silver in my hand, I still wouldn’t stretch out my hand against the king’s son; for in our hearing the king commanded you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, ‘Beware that no one 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.’
