2 Samuel 18:12
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.’2 Samuel 18:12 · WEB

- પેલા માણસે યોઆબને કહ્યું, “જો તું મને ચાંદીના હજાર સિક્કા આપો તોપણ હું રાજાના દીકરા સામે મારો હાથ ઉગામું નહિ કેમ કે, રાજાએ તને, અબિશાયને તથા ઇત્તાયને જે હુકમ કર્યો હતો તે અમે સાંભળ્યો હતો કે ‘જુવાન આબ્શાલોમને કોઈ હાથ અડકાડે નહિ.’
- हिन्दी — 2 शमूएल १८:१२
- उस मनुष्य ने योआब से कहा, “चाहे मेरे हाथ में हजार टुकड़े चाँदी तौलकर दिए जाएँ, तो भी राजकुमार के विरुद्ध हाथ न बढ़ाऊँगा; क्योंकि हम लोगों के सुनते राजा ने तुझे और अबीशै और इत्तै को यह आज्ञा दी, ‘तुम में से कोई क्यों न हो उस जवान अर्थात् अबशालोम को न छूए।’
In context
10A certain man saw it, and told Joab, and said, “Behold, I saw Absalom hanging in an oak.”
11Joab said to the man who told him, “Behold, you saw it, and why didn’t you strike him there to the ground? I would have given you ten pieces of silver and a sash.”
12The 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.’
13Otherwise, if I had dealt falsely against his life (and there is no matter hidden from the king), then you yourself would have set yourself against me.”
14Then Joab said, “I’m not going to wait like this with you.” He took three darts in his hand and thrust them through Absalom’s heart while he was still alive in the middle of the oak.
