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.

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.

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. ⁶ But Levi and Benjamin did he not count among them: for the king’s word was abominable to Joab. ⁷ And this thing was displeasing in the eyes of God, and he smote Israel. ⁸ And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing; but now, I beseech thee, cause the iniquity of thy servant to pass away; for I have acted very foolishly. ⁹ And the Lord spoke unto Gad, David’s seer, saying, ¹⁰ Go and speak unto David, saying, Thus hath said the Lord, Three things do I offer thee: choose for thyself one of them, and I will do it unto thee. ¹¹ So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus hath said the Lord, Select for thyself, ¹² Whether there shall be three years famine; or three months, to be destroyed before thy adversaries, so that the sword of thy enemies overtake thee; or that during three days the sword of the Lord, even the pestilence, shall be in the land, and an angel of the Lord destroying throughout all the boundaries of Israel? And now reflect what word I shall bring back to him that hath sent me. ¹³ And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall then into the hand of the Lord; for his mercies are very great; but let me not fall into the hand of man. ¹⁴ So the Lord sent a pestilence in Israel, and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men. ¹⁵ And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it; but as he was destroying, the Lord looked on, and he bethought himself of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough: now stay thy hand. And the angel of the Lord was standing by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite. ¹⁶ And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the Lord standing between the earth and the heavens, with his sword drawn in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem. Then fell David, with the elders wrapt in sackcloth, upon their faces. ¹⁷ And David said unto God, Was it not I that ordered to count the people? and I am the one that have sinned and have done evil indeed; but these sheep, what have they done? O Lord my God, let thy hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father’s house, but not against thy people, that there should be a plague.

¹⁰ He built also towers in the desert, and hewed out many wells; for he had much cattle, both in the lowlands and in the plain; also husbandmen, and vintners in the mountains, and in Carmel; for he loved husbandry. ¹¹ Moreover ‘Uzziyah had an army of fighting men, that went out to the host by bands, according to the number of those mustered of them through the hand of Je’iel the scribe and Ma’asseyahu the overseer, under the supervision of Chananyahu, one of the king’s captains. ¹² The whole number of the chiefs of the family divisions of the mighty men of valor was two thousand and six hundred. ¹³ And under their supervision was an efficient army, of three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred, that made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy.

³ And his cattle consisted of seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and he had a very great store of servants: so that this man was greater than all the sons of the east.
