1 Chronicles 21:3-5
Christian Standard Bible

4 Yet the king’s order prevailed over Joab. So Joab left and traveled throughout Israel and then returned to Jerusalem. 5 Joab gave the total troop registration to David. In all Israel there were one million one hundred thousand armed men[a] and in Judah itself four hundred seventy thousand armed men.
