1 Chronicles 21:1-4

21:1

And Satan
<07854>

stood up
<05975> (8799)

against Israel
<03478>_,

and provoked
<05496> (8686)

David
<01732>

to number
<04487> (8800)

Israel
<03478>_.

21:2

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Joab
<03097>

and to the rulers
<08269>

of the people
<05971>_,

Go
<03212> (8798)_,

number
<05608> (8798)

Israel
<03478>

from Beersheba
<0884>

even to Dan
<01835>_;

and bring
<0935> (8685)

the number
<04557>

of them to me, that I may know
<03045> (8799)

[it].

21:3

And Joab
<03097>

answered
<0559> (8799)_,

The LORD
<03068>

make his people
<05971>

an hundred
<03967>

times
<06471>

so many more
<03254> (8686)

as they
<01992>

[be]: but, my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>_,

[are] they not all my lord's
<0113>

servants
<05650>_?

why then doth my lord
<0113>

require
<01245> (8762)

this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass
<0819>

to Israel
<03478>_?

21:4

Nevertheless the king's
<04428>

word
<01697>

prevailed
<02388> (8804)

against Joab
<03097>_.

Wherefore Joab
<03097>

departed
<03318> (8799)_,

and went
<01980> (8691)

throughout all Israel
<03478>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_.
