וַיֹּ֤אמֶר הָאִישׁ֙ אֶל־ יוֹאָ֔ב וְלֹא אָנֹכִ֜י שֹׁקֵ֤ל עַל־ כַּפַּי֙ אֶ֣לֶף כֶּ֔סֶף לֹֽא־ אֶשְׁלַ֥ח יָדִ֖י אֶל־ בֶּן־ הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ כִּ֣י בְאָזְנֵ֜ינוּ צִוָּ֣ה הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ אֹ֠תְךָ וְאֶת־ אֲבִישַׁ֤י וְאֶת־ אִתַּי֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר שִׁמְרוּ־ מִ֕י בַּנַּ֖עַר בְּאַבְשָׁלֽוֹם׃
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.’
