And 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.

But he did not count Levi and Benjamin among them, for the king's word was abhorrent to Joab.

But David did not take the number of those twenty years old and under, because Jehovah had said He would multiply Israel like the stars of the heavens.

Joab the son of Zeruiah began to count, but he did not finish, for wrath came upon Israel because of this; nor was the number recorded in the account of the chronicles of King David.
