1 Chronicles 21:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ And Joab answered: The Lord make his people a hundred times more than they are: but, my lord the king, are they not all thy servants: why doth my lord seek this thing, which may be imputed as a sin to Israel?

⁴ But the king's word rather prevailed: and Joab departed, and went through all Israel: and returned to Jerusalem.

⁵ And he gave David the number of them, whom he had surveyed: and all the number of Israel was found to be eleven hundred thousand men that drew the sword: and of Juda four hundred and seventy thousand fighting men.
