1 Chronicles 21:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

⁶ But the king's command had seemed disgusting to Joab. So he did not count the men from the tribes of Levi and Benjamin. ⁷ God was also angry because David had done this thing. So he decided to punish Israel. ⁸ Then David said to God, ‘What I have done was a bad sin. Please forgive me. I have done a foolish thing.’
