2 Samuel 18:12 YLT

¹⁰  And one man seeth, and declareth to Joab, and saith, 'Lo, I saw Absalom hanged in an oak.'

¹¹  And Joab saith to the man who is declaring 'it' to him, 'And lo, thou hast seen -- and wherefore didst thou not smite him there to the earth -- and on me to give to thee ten silverlings and one girdle?'

¹²  And the man saith unto Joab, 'Yea, though I am weighing on my hand a thousand silverlings, I do not put forth my hand unto the son of the king; for in our ears hath the king charged thee, and Abishai, and Ittai, saying, Observe ye who 'is' against the youth -- against Absalom;

¹³  or I had done against my soul a vain thing, and no matter is hid from the king, and thou -- thou dost station thyself over-against.'

¹⁴  And Joab saith, 'Not right -- I tarry before thee;' and he taketh three darts in his hand, and striketh them into the heart of Absalom, while he 'is' alive, in the midst of the oak.
