1 Chronicles 21:2-5
2So David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, a“Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan, and bring me word that I may know their number.” 3Joab said, b“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?” 4Nevertheless, the king’s word prevailed against Joab. Therefore, Joab departed and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem. 5Joab gave the number of the ▼▼ Lit muster
census of all the people to David. And dall Israel were 1,100,000 men who drew the sword; and Judah was 470,000 men who drew the sword.
