1 Chronicles 21:2-4
New Century Version
2 So David said to Joab and the commanders of the troops, “Go and count all the Israelites from Beersheba to Dan.[a] Then tell me so I will know how many there are.”
3 But Joab said, “May the Lord give the nation a hundred times more people. My master the king, all the Israelites are your servants. Why do you want to do this, my master? You will make Israel guilty of sin.”
4 But the king commanded Joab, so Joab left and went through all Israel. Then he returned to Jerusalem.
