2 Samuel 18:13 in Context — 2 Samuel 18
11 Y Joab respondió al hombre que le daba la nueva: Y viéndolo tú, ¿por qué no le heriste luego allí [echándole] á tierra? y sobre mí, que te hubiera dado diez [siclos] de plata, y un talabarte.
12 Y el hombre dijo á Joab: Aunque me importara en mis manos mil [siclos] de plata, no extendiera yo mi mano contra el hijo del rey; porque nosotros lo oímos cuando el rey te mandó á ti y á Abisai y á Ittai, diciendo: Mirad que ninguno toque en el joven Absalom.
13 Por otra parte, habría yo hecho traición contra mi vida (pues que al rey nada se le esconde), y tú mismo estarías en contra.
14 Y respondió Joab: No es razón que yo te ruegue. Y tomando tres dardos en sus manos, hincólos en el corazón de Absalom, que aun estaba vivo en medio del alcornoque.
15 Cercándolo luego diez mancebos escuderos de Joab, hirieron á Absalom, y acabáronle.
