Correct Answer
B
Explanation
King David gave orders to Joab, Abishai; and Ittai, for my sake don't harm the young man Absalom, and all the troops heard David give this command to his officers. Absalom met some of David's men as he was riding amulet, and as it went under a large oak-tree, Absalom's head got caught in the branches. The mule ran on and Absalom was left hanging in mid air. One of David's men saw him and reported to Joab, Joab answered, if you saw him, why didn't you kill him on the spot? I wouldn't t lift a finger against the king's son. We all heard the king command you and Abishai and Ittai, "for my sake don't harm the young man Absalom", but if I had disobeyed the king and killed him, the king would have heard about it and you would not have defended me. 2 Samuel 18:1-18.
