Then
Satan stood up
against Israel and
moved David to
number Israel.

So
David said to
Joab and to the
princes of the
people,
"Go,
number Israel from
Beersheba even to
Dan, and
bring me word that I may
know their
number."

Joab said, "May the
LORD add to His
people a
hundred times as many as they are! But, my
lord the
king, are they not
all my
lord's servants?
Why does my
lord seek this thing?
Why should he be a
cause of
guilt to
Israel?"

Nevertheless, the
king's word prevailed against Joab. Therefore,
Joab departed and
went throughout
all Israel, and
came to
Jerusalem.

Joab gave the
number of the
census of all the
people to
David. And
all Israel were
1,100,000 * * * men who
drew the
sword; and
Judah was
470,000 * * * men who
drew the
sword.
