2 Samuel 19:6

2 Samuel 19:7

2 Samuel 18:12

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.

2 Samuel 18:14

2 Samuel 18:28

2 Samuel 19:11
