2 Samuel 24:8-10
New International Reader's Version
8 They finished going through the entire land. Then they came back to Jerusalem. They had been gone for nine months and 20 days.
9 Joab reported to the king how many fighting men he had counted. In Israel there were 800,000 men who were able to handle a sword. In Judah there were 500,000.
10 David felt sorry that he had counted the fighting men. So he said to the Lord, “I committed a great sin when I counted Judah and Israel’s men. Lord, I beg you to take away my guilt. I’ve done a very foolish thing.”
