2 Samuel 18:11

18:11 Joab replied to the man who was telling him this, “What! You saw this? Why didn’t you strike him down right on the spot? 1  I would have given you ten pieces of silver 2  and a commemorative belt!” 3 

1 tn Heb “Why did you not strike him down there to the ground.”

2 tn Heb “ten [shekels] of silver.” This would have been about 4 ounces (114 grams) of silver by weight.

3 tn Heb “and a girdle” (so KJV); NIV “a warrior’s belt”; CEV “a special belt”; NLT “a hero’s belt.”
