4 Nevertheless, the king’s word prevailed against Joab (YHWH is father). So Joab departed and traveled throughout Israel (he wrestles with God), and then he returned to Jerusalem (city of peace). But the king’s word prevailed against Joab. So Joab departed and went throughout all Israel and came back to Jerusalem. The king’s word, however, overruled Joab; so Joab left and went throughout Israel and then came back to Jerusalem.
5 And Joab (YHWH is father) reported to David (beloved) the total number of the troops. In all Israel (he wrestles with God) there were 1,100,000 men who drew the sword, including 470,000 in Judah (praised). And Joab gave the sum of the numbering of the people to David. In all Israel there were 1,100,000 men who drew the sword, and in Judah 470,000 who drew the sword. Joab reported the number of the fighting men to David: In all Israel there were one million one hundred thousand men who could handle a sword, including four hundred and seventy thousand in Judah.
6 But Joab did not include Levi (joined to) and Benjamin (son of the right hand) in the count, because the king’s command was detestable to him (YHWH is father). But he did not include Levi and Benjamin in the numbering, for the king’s command was abhorrent to Joab. But Joab did not include Levi and Benjamin in the numbering, because the king’s command was repulsive to him.
