2 H4428 For the king H559 said H3097 to Joab H8269 the captain H2428 of the army, H7751 which was with him, Go now through H7626 all the tribes H3478 of Israel, H1835 from Dan H884 even to Beer–sheba, H6485 and number H5971 you the people, H3045 that I may know H4557 the number H5971 of the people.

3 H3097 And Joab H559 said H4428 unto the king, H3068 Now the Lord H430 your God H3254 add H5971 unto the people, H1992 however many H3967 they be, a hundred times, H5869 and that the eyes H113 of my lord H4428 the king H7200 may see H113 it: but why does my lord H4428 the king H2654 delight H1697 in this thing?

4 H4428 Nevertheless the king's H1697 word H2388 prevailed H3097 against Joab, H8269 and against the captains H2428 of the army. H3097 And Joab H8269 and the captains H2428 of the army H3318 went out H6440 from the presence H4428 of the king, H6485 to number H5971 the people H3478 of Israel.

5 H5674 And they passed over H3383 Jordan, H2583 and pitched H6177 in Aroer, H3225 on the right side H5892 of the city H8432 that lies in the middle H5158 of the river H1410 of Gad, H3270 and toward Jazer:

6 H935 Then they came H1568 to Gilead, H776 and to the land H8483 of Tahtim–hodshi; H935 and they came H1842 to Dan–jaan, H5439 and about H6721 to Zidon,

7 H935 And came H4013 to the strong hold H6865 of Tyre, H5892 and to all the cities H2340 of the Hivites, H3669 and of the Canaanites: H3318 and they went out H5045 to the south H3063 of Judah, H884 even to Beer–sheba.

8 H7751 So when they had gone H776 through all the land, H935 they came H3389 to Jerusalem H7097 at the end H8672 of nine H2320 months H6242 and twenty H3117 days.

9 H3097 And Joab H5414 gave up H4557 the sum H4662 of the number H5971 of the people H4428 unto the king: H3478 and there were in Israel H8083 eight H3967 hundred H505 thousand H2428 valiant H376 men H8025 that drew H2719 the sword; H376 and the men H3063 of Judah H2568 were five H3967 hundred H505 thousand H376 men.

10 H1732 And David's H3820 heart H5221 struck H310 him after H5608 that he had numbered H5971 the people. H1732 And David H559 said H3068 unto the Lord, H2398 I have sinned H3966 greatly H6213 in that I have done: H3068 and now, I beg you, O Lord, H5674 take away H5771 the iniquity H5650 of your servant; H3966 for I have done very H5528 foolishly.

11 H1732 For when David H6965 was up H1242 in the morning, H1697 the word H3068 of the Lord H5030 came unto the prophet H1410 Gad, H1732 David's H2374 seer, H559 saying,

12 H1980 Go H559 and say H1732 unto David, H1696 Thus says H3068 the Lord, H5190 I offer H7969 you three H977 things; choose H259 you one H6213 of them, that I may do it unto you.

13 H1410 So Gad H935 came H1732 to David, H5046 and told H559 him, and said H7651 unto him, Shall seven H8141 years H7458 of famine H935 come H776 unto you in your land? H5127 or will you flee H7969 three H2320 months H6440 before H6862 your enemies, H7291 while they pursue H7969 you? or that there be three H3117 days' H1698 pestilence H776 in your land? H3045 now advise, H7200 and see H1697 what answer H7725 I shall return H7971 to him that sent me.

14 H1732 And David H559 said H1410 unto Gad, H3966 I am in great H6887 distress: H5307 let us fall H3027 now into the hand H3068 of the Lord; H7356 for his mercies H7227 are great: H5307 and let me not fall H3027 into the hand H120 of man.

15 H3068 So the Lord H5414 sent H1698 a pestilence H3478 upon Israel H1242 from the morning H6256 even to the time H4150 appointed: H4191 and there died H5971 of the people H1835 from Dan H884 even to Beer–sheba H7657 seventy H505 thousand H376 men.
