The man said to Joab, “Even if I should receive a thousand pieces of silver in my hand, I would not put out my hand against the king’s son; for in our hearing the king charged you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, ‘Protect for me the young man Absalom!’

At peace

If I have rewarded evil to my friend,
Or have plundered him who without cause was my adversary,

Thus they have

repaid me evil for good

And hatred for my love.

Too long has my soul had its dwelling
With those who hate peace.
