Chronicles I 21:6 In-Context
4 Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab; and Joab went out and passed through all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
5 And Joab gave the number of the mustering of the people to David: and all Israel was a million and a hundred thousand men that drew sword: and the sons of Juda four hundred and seventy thousand men that drew sword.
6 But he numbered not Levi and Benjamin among them; for the word of the king was painful to Joab.
7 And evil in the sight of the Lord respecting this thing; and he smote Israel.
8 And David said to God, I have sinned exceedingly, in that I have done this thing: and now, I pray thee, remove the sin of thy servant; for I have been exceedingly foolish.
