to Joab
<03097>

the captain
<08269>

<02428>_,

which [was] with him, Go now through

all the tribes
<07626>

and number
<06485> (8798)

ye the people

And Joab
<03097>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king

Now the LORD

thy God

add
<03254> (8686)

unto the people
<05971>_,

how many soever
<01992>

they be, an hundredfold
<03967> <06471>_,

and that the eyes
<05869>

of my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

may see
<07200> (8802)

[it]: but why doth my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

delight
<02654> (8804)

and the captains
<08269>

of the host
<02428>

went out
<03318> (8799)

from the presence
<06440>

of the king

to number
<06485> (8800)

the people
