1 And the anger of YHWH added to be hot against Israel, and He moved David against them, saying, “Go, number Israel and Judah.” 2 And the king said to Joab the commander of the army, who was with him, “Go now throughout all the tribes of Israel, from Dan and to Beersheba, and count the people, that I may know the number of the people.” 3 And Joab said to the king, “And YHWH your God may add to the people, as they were and as they are a hundred times, and the eyes of my lord the king may see it. And my lord the king, why does this thing delight?” 4 And the word of the king prevailed against Joab and against the captains of the army. And Joab and the captains of the army went out from the presence of the king to count the people of Israel. 2 Samuel 24:1-4, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
