Exegesis
Although raiti {רָאִיתִי | rāʾîtî} is first person perfect, it is rendered as second person to maintain conversational logic in this reproach.
In context — 2 Samuel 18:11
And Joab said to the man who was reporting to him, “Behold, you saw him, and why did you not strike him there on the ground? Then it would have fallen to me to give you ten pieces of silver and one belt .”
