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.

And the man said to Joab, Even if you gave me a thousand bits of silver, I would not put out my hand against the king's son: for in our hearing the king gave orders to you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Take care that the young man Absalom is not touched.

Ο δε ανηρ ειπε προς τον Ιωαβ, Και χιλιοι σικλοι αργυριου αν ηθελον μετρηθη εις την παλαμην μου, δεν ηθελον βαλει την χειρα μου επι τον υιον του βασιλεως· διοτι εις επηκοον ημων προσεταξεν ο βασιλευς εις σε και εις τον Αβισαι και εις τον Ιτται, λεγων, Φυλαχθητε μη εγγιση μηδεις τον νεον, τον Αβεσσαλωμ·

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.
