1 Chronicles 21:3-6 And Joab said, May Jehovah add to His people as if they were a hundred times; my lord, O king, are they not all of them servants to my lord? Why does my lord desire this? Why will he be a cause of guilt to Israel?

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ And Joab said, May Jehovah add to His people as if they were a hundred times; my lord, O king, are they not all of them servants to my lord? Why does my lord desire this? Why will he be a cause of guilt to Israel? ⁴ But the word of the king was heavy against Joab; and Joab went out and went up and down all Israel, and came to Jerusalem. ⁵ And Joab gave the tally of the census of the people to David; and all Israel was a million and one hundred thousand men drawing sword; and Judah was four hundred and seventy thousand drawing sword. ⁶ And Levi and Benjamin he did not number among them, for the word of the king was loathsome to Joab.
