Leeser(i)
2 And David said to Joab, and to the princes of the people, Go, number Israel from Beer-sheba’ even to Dan, and bring their number to me, that I may know it.
3 Then said Joab, May the Lord add unto his people, how many soever they be, a hundred-fold more: are they not all, my lord the king, my lord’s servants? why then will my lord require this thing? why shall it be a cause of guiltiness for Israel?
4 Nevertheless the king’s word remained firm against Joab; and Joab went out, and moved about throughout all Israel, and came back to Jerusalem.
5 And Joab gave up the sum of the number of the people unto David: and there were in all Israel a thousand times thousand and one hundred thousand men that drew the sword: and of Judah were four hundred and seventy thousand men that drew the sword.
