In context
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.
