1 Chronicles 21:1-7

1And Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.

2And David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, Go, number Israel from Beer-sheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it.

3And Joab said, Jehovah add to his people, how many soever they be, a hundredfold: are they not all, my lord O king, my lord's servants? why does my lord require this thing? why should he become a trespass to Israel?

4But the king's word prevailed against Joab; and Joab departed, and went through all Israel, and came [again] to Jerusalem.

5And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to David. And all they of Israel were eleven hundred thousand men that drew sword; and of Judah, four hundred and seventy thousand men that drew sword.

6But Levi and Benjamin he did not count among them; for the king's word was abominable to Joab.

7And 1God was displeased on account of this thing, and he smote Israel.
