1 Chronicles 21:1-8

1And SatanH7854 stood upH5975 against IsraelH3478, and provokedH5496 DavidH1732 to numberH4487 IsraelH3478. 2And DavidH1732 saidH559 to JoabH3097 and to the rulersH8269 of the peopleH5971, GoH3212, numberH5608 IsraelH3478 from Beer–shebaH884 even to DanH1835; and bringH935 the numberH4557 of them to me, that I may knowH3045 it. 3And JoabH3097 answeredH559, YhwhH3068 make his peopleH5971 an hundredH3967 timesH6471 so many moreH3254 as theyH1992 be: but, my lordH113 the kingH4428, are they not all my lord’sH113 servantsH5650? why then doth my lordH113 requireH1245 this thing? why will he be a cause of trespassH819 to IsraelH3478? 4Nevertheless the king’sH4428 wordH1697 prevailedH2388 against JoabH3097. Wherefore JoabH3097 departedH3318, and wentH1980 throughout all IsraelH3478, and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389.

5And JoabH3097 gaveH5414 the sumH4557 of the numberH4662 of the peopleH5971 unto DavidH1732. And all they of IsraelH3478 were a thousandH505 thousandH505 and an hundredH3967 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 swordH2719: and JudahH3063 was fourH702 hundredH3967 threescore and tenH7657 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 swordH2719. 6But LeviH3878 and BenjaminH1144 countedH6485 he not amongH8432 them: for the king’sH4428 wordH1697 was abominableH8581 to JoabH3097. 7And GodH430 was displeasedH5869H3415 with this thingH1697; therefore he smoteH5221 IsraelH3478.1 8And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto GodH430, I have sinnedH2398 greatlyH3966, because I have doneH6213 this thingH1697: but now, I beseech thee, do awayH5674 the iniquityH5771 of thy servantH5650; for I have done veryH3966 foolishlyH5528.
