1 Chronicles 21:3-5

Names of God Bible

³ Joab responded, “May Yahweh multiply his people a hundred times over. But, Your Majesty, aren’t they all your servants? Why are you trying to do this? Why do you wish to make Israel guilty of this sin?”

⁴ However, the king overruled Joab. So Joab left, went throughout Israel, and returned to Jerusalem. ⁵ Joab reported the census figures to David: In Israel there were 1,100,000 men who could serve in the army, and in Judah there were 470,000 who could serve in the army.
