New International Version
3 But Joab(A) replied to the king, “May the Lord your God multiply the troops a hundred times over,(B) and may the eyes of my lord the king see it. But why does my lord the king want to do such a thing?”
4 The king’s word, however, overruled Joab and the army commanders; so they left the presence of the king to enroll the fighting men of Israel.
5 After crossing the Jordan, they camped near Aroer,(C) south of the town in the gorge, and then went through Gad and on to Jazer.(D)
