2 Samuel 24:4-6

New English Translation

⁴ But the king’s edict stood, despite the objections of^[a] Joab and the leaders of the army. So Joab and the leaders of the army left the king’s presence in order to muster the Israelite army.

⁵ They crossed the Jordan and camped at Aroer, on the south side of the city, at^[b] the wadi of Gad, near Jazer. ⁶ Then they went on to Gilead and to the region of Tahtim Hodshi, coming to Dan Jaan and on around to Sidon.
