1 Chronicles 21:1-6
11Then SatanH7854 stoodH5975 up againstH5921 IsraelH3478 and movedH5496 DavidH1732 to numberH4487 IsraelH3478. 2So DavidH1732 saidH559 to JoabH3097 and to the princesH8269 of the peopleH5971, “2GoH1980, numberH5608 IsraelH3478 from BeershebaH884 even to DanH1835, and bringH935 me word that I may knowH3045 their numberH4557.” 3JoabH3097 saidH559, “3May the LordH3068 addH3254 to His peopleH5971 a hundredH3967 timesH6471 as many as they are! But, my lordH113 the kingH4428, are they not allH3605 my lord’sH113 servantsH5650? WhyH4100 does my lordH113 seekH1245 thisH2088 thingH2088? WhyH4100 should he be a causeH819 of guiltH819 to IsraelH3478?” 4Nevertheless, the king’sH4428 wordH1697 prevailedH2388 againstH5921 JoabH3097. Therefore, JoabH3097 departedH3318 and wentH1980 throughout allH3605 IsraelH3478, and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389. 5JoabH3097 gaveH5414 the numberH4557 of the 4censusH4662 of all the peopleH5971 to DavidH1732. And 5allH3605 IsraelH3478 were 1,100,000H505H3967 menH376 who drewH8025 the swordH2719; and JudahH3063 was 470,000H702H3967H7657H505 menH376 who drewH8025 the swordH2719. 66But he did not 7numberH6485 LeviH3878 and BenjaminH1144 amongH8432 them, for the king’sH4428 8commandH1697 was abhorrentH8581 to JoabH3097.
