2 Samuel 18:10-12

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁰ And one saw this and told Joab, saying: I saw Absalom hanging upon an oak.

¹¹ And Joab said to the man that told him: If thou sawest him, why didst thou not stab him to the ground, and I would have given thee ten sicles of silver, and belt?

¹² And he said to Joab: If thou wouldst have paid down in my hands a thousand pieces of silver, I would not lay my hands upon the king's son: for in our hearing he king charged thee, and Abisai, and Ethai, saying: Save me the boy Absalom.
