And the man said unto Joab, Though I should receive a thousand [shekels] of silver in mine hand, [yet] would I not put forth mine hand against the king’s son: for in our hearing the king charged thee and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Beware that none [touch] the young man Absalom.

The king charged thee. The soldier was a man of principle and would obey the command of the king, however unreasonable it might appear. He reminded Joab of the orders that had been given him and all the army, and he felt that those orders should be obeyed.
