§ 02 · King James Bible
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.
Simple English
The man told Joab, "Even if I'm given a thousand silver coins, I wouldn't harm the king's son. Because we heard the king tell you, Abishai, and Ittai to not let anyone touch Absalom, the young man."
