1 Chronicles 21:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ But Levi and Benjamin he did not number: for Joab unwillingly executed the king's orders.

⁷ And God was displeased with this thing that was commanded: and he struck Israel.

⁸ And David said to God: I have sinned exceedingly in doing this: I beseech thee take away the iniquity of thy servant, for I have done foolishly.
