Exegesis
The causal ki {כִּי | kî} ‘for’ combined with be-ozneinu {בְּאָזְנֵינוּ | bə-ʾōz-nê-nû} ‘in our ears’ provides the basis for the command.
In context — 2 Samuel 18:12
And the man said to Joab, “Even if I were weighing a thousand shekels of silver in my palms, I would not lay my hand against the king ’s son, for we heard the king command you, Abishai, and Ittai, saying, ‘Protect the young man Absalom.’”
