What does 2 Samuel 18:11 mean?

Joab said to the man, 'If you saw him, why didn't you kill him right there? I would've given you ten pieces of silver and a warrior's belt.' 2 Samuel 18:11 - Modern Text Bible

(Joab is frustrated the soldier didn't finish Absalom off and offers a reward, showing his practical, ruthless mindset.)
