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.
And the man {H376} said {H559} unto Joab {H3097}, Though {H3863} I should receive {H8254} a thousand {H505} shekels of silver {H3701} in mine hand {H3709}, yet would I not put forth {H7971} mine hand {H3027} against the king's {H4428} son {H1121}: for in our hearing {H241} the king {H4428} charged {H6680} thee and Abishai {H52} and Ittai {H863}, saying {H559}, Beware {H8104} that none touch the young man {H5288} Absalom {H53}.
The man replied to Yo'av, "Even if I were to get a thousand pieces of silver, I still wouldn't raise my hand against the son of the king! After all, while we were listening, the king ordered you, Avishai and Ittai, 'Be careful that no one touches young Avshalom.'
The man replied, “Even if a thousand shekels 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.’
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.
