1 Chronicles 21:5-8
21:5 Joab reported to David the number of warriors.
In all Israel there were 1,100,000
sword-wielding soldiers; Judah alone had 470,000 sword-wielding soldiers.
21:6 Now Joab
did not number Levi and Benjamin, for the king’s edict disgusted him.
21:7 God was also offended by it,
so he attacked Israel.
21:8 David said to God, “I have sinned greatly by doing this! Now, please remove the guilt of your servant, for I have acted very foolishly.”
