4 Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Joab. Therefore Joab departed and went throughout all Israel and came to Jerusalem.
5 Then Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to David. All Israel had one million one hundred thousand men who drew the sword, and Judah had four hundred and seventy thousand men who drew the sword.
6 aBut he did not count Levi and Benjamin among them, for the king’s1 word was abominable to Joab.
7 And1 God was displeased with this thing; therefore He struck Israel.
8 So David said to God, a“I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing; bbut now, I pray, take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have done very foolishly.”
