1 Chronicles
Chapters 21:1-5
Amplified Bible
1SATAN [an adversary] stood up against Israel and stirred up David to number Israel.
2David said to Joab and the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beersheba to Dan, and bring me the total, that I may know it.
3And Joab answered, May the Lord multiply His people a hundred times! But, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? Why then does my lord require this? Why will he bring guilt upon Israel?
4But the king's word prevailed against Joab. So Joab departed and went throughout all Israel and came to Jerusalem.
5Joab gave the total number of the people to David. And all of Israel were 1,100,000 who drew the sword, and of Judah 470,000 who drew the sword.
