2 Samuel 18:12
"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."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And the man said unto Joab,.... Disdaining his proposal: though I should receive a thousand shekels of silver in mine hand; or such a sum should be offered to me;

the Arabic version is a million: yet would I not put forth my hand against the king's son; to smite him, and slay him: for in our hearing the king charged thee, and Abishai, and Ittai; his three generals: saying, beware that none touch the young man Absalom; so as to slay him; they were charged to abstain from it themselves, and to watch and observe others, and keep them from doing it.
