2 Samuel 24:1-4
1AgainH3254 the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 burnedH2734 against IsraelH3478, and He stirred upH5496 DavidH1732 against them, sayingH559, “GoH1980 and take a censusH4487 of IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063.”
2So the kingH4428 saidH559 toH413 JoabH3097 the commanderH8269 of his armyH2428, whoH834 was with himH854,1 “GoH7751 nowH4994 throughoutH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 from DanH1835 toH5704 BeershebaH884 and registerH6485 the troopsH5971, so that I may knowH3045 their numberH4557H5971.”
3But JoabH3097 repliedH559 toH413 the kingH4428, “May the LORDH3068 your GodH430H413 multiplyH3254 the troopsH5971 a hundredH3967 timesH6471 over, and may the eyesH5869 of my lordH113 the kingH4428 seeH7200 it. But whyH4100 does my lordH113 the kingH4428 wantH2654 to do suchH2088 a thingH1697?”
4Nevertheless, the king’sH4428 wordH1697 prevailedH2388 againstH413 JoabH3097 and againstH5921 the commandersH8269 of the armyH2428. So JoabH3097 and the commandersH8269 of the armyH2428 departedH3318 from the presenceH6440 of the kingH4428 to registerH6485 the troopsH5971 of IsraelH3478.
