Rotherham(i)
1 Then the accuser stood up, against Israel,––and moved David, to number Israel.
2 And David said unto Joab and unto the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel, from Beer–sheba even unto Dan,––and bring [the report] unto me, that I may know the number of them.
3 Then said Joab, May Yahweh add unto his people, as many as they are, a hundred times, but are they not, my lord O king, all of them my lord’s, as servants? wherefore should my lord seek this? wherefore should it become guilt to Israel?
4 But, the word of the king, prevailed against Joab,––and Joab departed, and went to and fro throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
5 And Joab delivered the sum of the number of the people, unto David,––and all Israel was found to be a thousand thousand and a hundred thousand men, who drew sword, and Judah, four hundred and seventy thousand men, who drew sword.
