1 Chronicles 21
And
a
Satan
stood
up
against
Israel,
and
b
provoked
David
to
number
Israel.
2 And
David
said
to
Joab
and
to
the
rulers
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.
3 And
Joab
answered,
The
Lord
make
his
people
an
hundred
times
so
many
more
as
they
be:
but,
my
lord
the
king,
are
they
not
all
my
lord's
servants?
why
then
doth
my
lord
require
this
thing?
why
will
he
be
a
cause
of
trespass
to
Israel?
4 Nevertheless
the
king's
word
prevailed
against
Joab.
Wherefore
Joab
departed,
and
went
throughout
all
Israel,
and
came
to
Jerusalem.
5 And
Joab
gave
the
sum
of
the
number
of
the
people
unto
David.
And
all
they
of
Israel
were
a
a
thousand
thousand
and
an
hundred
thousand
men
that
drew
sword:
and
Judah
was
four
hundred
threescore
and
ten
thousand
men
that
drew
sword.
6 But
Levi
and
Benjamin
counted
he
not
among
them:
for
the
king's
word
was
abominable
to
Joab.
7 And
God
was
displeased
with
this
thing;
therefore
he
a
smote
Israel.
8 And
David
said
unto
God,
I
have
a
sinned
greatly,
because
I
have
done
this
thing:
but
now,
I
beseech
thee,
do
away
the
iniquity
of
thy
servant;
for
I
have
done
very
foolishly.
