2 Samuel 24:1-4
11Now 2again the anger of the Lord burned against Israel, and it incited David against them to say, “3Go, number Israel and Judah.”
2The king said to Joab the commander of the army who was with him, “Go about now through all the tribes of Israel, 4from Dan to Beersheba, and 5register the people, that I may know the number of the people.”
3But Joab said to the king, “6Now may the Lord your God add to the people a hundred times as many as they are, while the eyes of my lord the king still see; but why does my lord the king delight in this thing?”
4Nevertheless, the king’s word prevailed against Joab and against the commanders of the army. So Joab and the commanders of the army went out from the presence of the king to 7register the people of Israel.
