1 Chronicles 21:3-6 And Joab said, `Yahweh does add to His people as they are a hundred times; are they not, my lord, O king, all of them to my lord for servants? why does my lord seek this? why is he for a cause of guilt to Israel?.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ And Joab said, `Yahweh does add to His people as they are a hundred times; are they not, my lord, O king, all of them to my lord for servants? why does my lord seek this? why is he for a cause of guilt to Israel?. ⁴ And the word of the king [is] severe against Joab, and Joab goes out, and goes up and down in all Israel, and comes in to Jerusalem. ⁵ And Joab gives the account of the numbering of the people unto David, and all Israel is a thousand thousand and a hundred thousand, each drawing sword, and Judah [is] four hundred and seventy thousand, each drawing sword. ⁶ And Levi and Benjamin he has not numbered in their midst, for the word of the king was abominable with Joab.
