2 Samuel 18:11 in Context — 2 Samuel 18
9 E encontrou-se Absalão com os servos de Davi: e ia Absalão sobre um mulo, e o mulo se entrou debaixo de um espesso e grande carvalho, e prendeu-lhe a cabeça ao carvalho, e ficou entre o céu e a terra; pois o mulo em que ia passou adiante.
10 E vendo-o um, avisou a Joabe, dizendo: Eis que vi a Absalão pendurado em um carvalho.
11 E Joabe respondeu ao homem que lhe dava a nova: E vendo-o tu, por que não lhe feriste logo ali lançando-lhe à terra? E sobre mim, que te haveria dado dez siclos de prata, e um cinto.
12 E o homem disse a Joabe: Ainda que me importasse em minhas mãos mil siclos de prata, não estenderia eu minha mão contra o filho do rei; porque nós o ouvimos quando o rei te mandou a ti e a Abisai e a Itai, dizendo: Olhai que ninguém toque no jovem Absalão.
13 Por outra parte, haveria eu feito traição contra minha vida (pois que ao rei nada se lhe esconde), e tu mesmo estarias contra mim.
