NETBible

The man replied to Joab, “Even if¹ I were receiving² a thousand pieces of silver,³ I would not strike⁴ the king’s son! In our very presence⁵ the king gave this order to you and Abishai and Ittai, ‘Protect the young man Absalom for my sake.’⁶

NET Notes

¹tc The translation follows the Qere and many medieval Hebrew mss in reading וְלוּ (vÿlu, “and if”) rather than MT וְלֹא (vÿlo’, “and not”).

²tn Heb “weighing out in my hand.”

³tn Heb “a thousand [shekels] of silver.” This would have been about 25 pounds (11.4 kg) of silver by weight.

⁴tn Heb “extend my hand against.”

⁵tn Heb “in our ears.”

⁶tc The Hebrew text is very difficult here. The MT reads מִי (mi, “who”), apparently yielding the following sense: “Show care, whoever you might be, for the youth Absalom.” The Syriac Peshitta reads li (“for me”), the Hebrew counterpart of which may also lie behind the LXX rendering μοι (moi, “for me”). This reading seems preferable here, since it restores sense to the passage and most easily explains the rise of the variant.
