^1 (C1)Then Satan stood up against Israel and moved David to number Israel.² So David said to Joab and the commanders of the troops, “Go and count Israel from Beer-sheba to Dan and bring a report to me so I can know their number.”^(C1)

² And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it. ² So David said to Joab and the commanders of the army, "Go, number Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, and bring me a report, that I may know their number." ² So David said to Joab and the commanders of the troops, "Go and count all the Israelites from Beersheba to Dan.^[a] Then tell me so I will know how many there are." ² David told Joab and the leaders of the army, "Go, count the number of warriors from Beer Sheba to Dan.

³ Joab replied, “May the Lord multiply the number of his people a hundred times over!^(C1) My lord the king, aren’t they all my lord’s servants? Why does my lord want to do this? Why should he bring guilt on Israel?”

³ And Joab answered, The Lord make his people an hundred times so many more as they be: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel? ³ But Joab said, "May the Lord add to his people a hundred times as many as they are! Are they not, my lord the king, all of them my lord's servants? Why then should my lord require this? Why should it be a cause of guilt for Israel?"

³ But Joab said, "May the Lord give the nation a hundred times more people. My master the king, all the Israelites are your servants. Why do you want to do this, my master? You will make Israel guilty of sin." ³ Joab replied, "May the Lord make his army a hundred times larger! My master, O king, do not all of them serve my master? Why does my master want to do this? Why bring judgment on Israel?"³ Joab said, "^(C1)May the LORD add to His people a hundred times as many as they are! But, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? Why then does my lord require this? Why will he bring guilt on Israel?"³ But Joab said, "^(C1)May the LORD add to His people a hundred times as many as they are! My lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? Why does my lord seek this thing? Why should he be a cause of guilt to Israel?"³ Joab said, Yahweh make his people a hundred times as many as they are: but, my lord the king, aren't they all my lord's servants? why does my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of guilt to Israel? ³ And Ioab answered, The Lord increase his people an hundreth times so many as they be, O my lord the King: are they not all my lords seruats? wherefore doeth my lord require this thing? why should he be a cause of trespasse to Israel?³ But Joab said, "^(C1)May Yahweh add to His people a hundred times as many as they are! But, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? Why does my lord seek this thing? Why should he be a cause of guilt to Israel?"³ But Joab replied, “May the LORD multiply His troops a hundred times over. My lord the king, are they not all servants of my lord? Why does my lord want to do this? Why should he bring guilt on Israel?”

³ Joab answered, "Your Majesty, even if the Lord made your kingdom a hundred times larger, you would still rule everyone in it. Why do you need to know how many soldiers there are? Don't you think that would make the whole nation angry?" ³ Yo'av said, "May Adonai make his people a hundred times as many as they are now! But, my lord the king, aren't they all my lord's servants in any case? Why does my lord the king require this? Why should he bring guilt upon Isra'el?"

³ And Joab said, Jehovah add to his people, how many soever they be, a hundredfold: are they not all, my lord O king, my lord's servants? why does my lord require this thing? why should he become a trespass to Israel?

³ But Joab answered, "May the Lord make his nation 100 times as large! Sir, all the Israelites are your servants. Why do you want to do this thing, my lord and king? You will make all the Israelites guilty of sin!"³ And Joab said to King David, May the LORD make his people a hundred times so many more as they are, and let the eyes of my lord the king see it, for they are all his servants; why then should our lord the king require this thing?

³ Joab answered, "May the Lord make the people of Israel a hundred times more numerous than they are now! Your Majesty, they are all your servants. Why do you want to do this and make the whole nation guilty?" ³ But Joab said, "May Yahweh add to the people a hundred times what they are! Are they not, O my lord the king, all of them the king's servants? Why does my lord seek this? Why would he bring guilt to Israel?" ³ And Joab said, May Jehovah add to His people as if they were a hundred times; my lord, O king, are they not all of them servants to my lord? Why does my lord desire this? Why will he be a cause of guilt to Israel?³ Ioab sayde: The LORDE make his people an hundreth tymes mo then they are now. But my lorde O kynge, are they not all my lordes seruauntes? Why doth my lorde then axe therafter? Wherfore shal there a trespace come vpon Israel? ³ And Joab said, Jehovah make his people a hundred times as many as they are: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? why doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of guilt unto Israel? ³ And Joab said, May the Lord make his people a hundred times more in number than they are; but, my lord king, are they not all my lord's servants? why would my lord have this done? why will he become a cause of sin to Israel?³ And Ioab aunswered: The Lorde make his people an hundred times so many mo as they be: But my lorde, O king, are they not all my lordes seruauntes? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will my lorde be a cause of trespasse to Israel?³ And Joab said: 'The LORD make His people a hundred times so many more as they are; but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? why doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of guilt unto Israel?'³ And Ioab answered, The Lord make his people an hundred times so many moe as they bee: but, my lord the king, are they not al my lords seruants? why then doeth my lord require this thing? why will hee bee a cause of trespasse to Israel? ³ And Joab said, May the Lord add to his people, a hundred-fold as many as they are, and let the eyes of my lord the king see it: all are the servants of my lord. Why does my lord seek this thing? do it not, lest it become a sin to Israel. ³ And Joab said, The LORD make his people an hundred times so many more as they be: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord’s servants? why doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of guilt unto Israel? ³ And Joab answeride, The Lord encresse his puple an hundrid fold more than thei ben; my lord the kyng, whether alle ben not thi seruauntis? Whi sekith my lord this thing, that schal be arettid in to synne to Israel?³ And Joab said, Yahweh make his people a hundred times as many as they are: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's slaves? why does my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of guilt to Israel?³ And Joab answered, the LORD make his people a hundred times more numerous than they [are]: but, my lord the king, [are] they not all my lord's servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel?³ And Joab answered, "May the LORD make His people a hundred times more than they are. But, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? Why then does my lord require this thing? Why should he be a cause of guilt in Israel?"

³ But Joab replied, "May the Lord increase the number of his people a hundred times over! But why, my lord the king, do you want to do this? Are they not all your servants? Why must you cause Israel to sin?" ³ Joab said, "May the Lord add to His people a hundred times as many as they are! But, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? Why does my lord want this thing done? Why should he bring guilt upon Israel?" ³ But Joab said, "May the Lord increase the number of his people a hundredfold! Are they not, my lord the king, all of them my lord's servants? Why then should my lord require this? Why should he bring guilt on Israel?" ³ Then said Joab, May Yahweh add unto his people, as many as they are, a hundred times, but are they not, my lord O king, all of them my lord's, as servants? wherefore should my lord seek this? wherefore should it become guilt to Israel?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?³ But Jo'ab said, "May the LORD add to his people a hundred times as many as they are! Are they not, my lord the king, all of them my lord's servants? Why then should my lord require this? Why should he bring guilt upon Israel?"³ And Joab saith, `Jehovah doth add to His people as they are a hundred times; are they not, my lord, O king, all of them to my lord for servants? why doth my lord seek this? why is he for a cause of guilt to Israel?'³ And Joab says, "YHWH adds to His people as they are one hundred times; are they not, my lord, O king, all of them for servants to my lord? Why does my lord seek this? Why is he for a cause of guilt to Israel?"

³ Joab resisted: "May God multiply his people by hundreds! Don't they all belong to my master the king? But why on earth would you do a thing like this—why risk getting Israel into trouble with God?"³ Joab said, "^(C1)May the LORD add to His people a hundred times as many as they are! But, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? Why does my lord seek this thing? Why should he be a cause of guilt to Israel?"

⁴ Yet the king’s order prevailed over Joab. So Joab left and traveled throughout Israel and then returned to Jerusalem. ⁴ Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Yo'av. Therefore Yo'av departed, and went throughout all Yisra'el, and came to Yerushalayim.

⁴ Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem. ⁴ But the king's word prevailed against Joab. So Joab departed and went throughout all Israel and came back to Jerusalem.

⁴ But the king commanded Joab, so Joab left and went through all Israel. Then he returned to Jerusalem.

⁴ But the king's edict stood, despite Joab's objections. So Joab left and traveled throughout Israel before returning to Jerusalem. ⁴ But the king's word prevailed over Joab.

So, Joab went out and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.⁴ Nevertheless, the king's word prevailed against Joab. So Joab left and traveled throughout Israel, and then he returned to Jerusalem.

⁴ But David would not change his mind. And so Joab went everywhere in Israel and Judah and counted the people. He returned to Jerusalem ⁴ Nevertheless, the king's word prevailed against Yo'av. So Yo'av left and went through all Isra'el, after which he came to Yerushalayim.

⁴ But the king's word prevailed against Joab; and Joab departed, and went through all Israel, and came [again] to Jerusalem.

⁴ But King David was stubborn. Joab had to do what the king said. So Joab left and went through all the country of Israel counting the people. Then he came back to Jerusalem⁴ Nevertheless the kings word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed and went throughout all Israel and came back to Jerusalem. ⁴ But the king made Joab obey the order. Joab went out, traveled through the whole country of Israel, and then returned to Jerusalem. ⁴ But the word of the king prevailed over Joab. Then he went about through all Israel and came to Jerusalem. ⁴ But the word of the king was heavy against Joab; and Joab went out and went up and down all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.⁴ Neuertheles the kynges worde preuayled agaynst Ioab. And Ioab wente forth, and walked thorow all Israel, and came to Ierusalem, ⁴ Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem. ⁴ But the king's word was stronger than Joab's. So Joab went out and went through all Israel and came to Jerusalem.⁴ Neuerthelesse the kinges word preuayled against Ioab: And Ioab departed, and walked throughout all them of Israel, and came to Hierusalem againe,⁴ Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.⁴ Neuerthelesse, the kings word preuailed against Ioab: wherefore Ioab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Ierusalem. ⁴ Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Joab; and Joab went out and passed through all Israel, and came to Jerusalem. ⁴ Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem. ⁴ But the word of the kyng hadde more the maistrie; and Joab yede out, and cumpasside al Israel, and turnede ayen in to Jerusalem.⁴ Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab.

Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.⁴ Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Therefore Joab departed and went throughout all Israel and came to Jerusalem.

⁴ But the king insisted that they take the census, so Joab traveled throughout all Israel to count the people. Then he returned to Jerusalem ⁴ But the king's word was stronger than Joab. So Joab left and went through all of Israel, and returned to Jerusalem. ⁴ But the king's word prevailed against Joab. So Joab departed and went throughout all Israel, and came back to Jerusalem. ⁴ But, the word of the king, prevailed against Joab, - and Joab departed, and went to and fro throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.⁴ But the king’s word rather prevailed: and Joab departed, and went through all Israel: and returned to Jerusalem.⁴ But the king's word prevailed against Jo'ab. So Jo'ab departed and went throughout all Israel, and came back to Jerusalem.⁴ And the word of the king [is] severe against Joab, and Joab goeth out, and goeth up and down in all Israel, and cometh in to Jerusalem.⁴ And the word of the king [is] severe against Joab, and Joab goes out, and goes up and down in all Israel, and comes to Jerusalem.^4-7 But David wouldn't take no for an answer, so Joab went off and did it—canvassed the country and then came back to Jerusalem and reported the results of the census: There were 1,100,000 fighting men; of that total, Judah accounted for 470,000. Joab, disgusted by the command—it, in fact, turned his stomach!—protested by leaving Levi and Benjamin out of the census-taking. And God, offended by the whole thing, punished Israel.⁴ Nevertheless, the king's word prevailed against Joab. Therefore, Joab departed and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.⁵ Joab gave the total troop registration to David.

Judgment for David’s Sin

(2 Samuel 24:10-14 ⁶ Joab refused to include anyone from the tribes of Levi and Benjamin, because he still disagreed with David's orders. ⁶ But he didn't count Levi and Binyamin among them, because the king's order was hateful to Yo'av.

⁶ But Levi and Benjamin he did not count among them; for the king's word was abominable to Joab. ⁶ Joab did not count the tribes of Levi and Benjamin because he did not like King David's order.⁶ But the Levites, the priests, and the tribe of Benjamin were not counted among them; for the kings word was abominable to Joab, and Joab was unwilling to number them. ⁶ Because Joab disapproved of the king's command, he did not take any census of the tribes of Levi and Benjamin. ⁶ But he did not count Levi and Benjamin among them, for the word of the king was repulsive to Joab.⁶ And Levi and Benjamin he did not number among them, for the word of the king was loathsome to Joab.⁶ As for Leui and Ben Iamin, he nombred them not amonge these: for the kynges worde was abhominable vnto Ioab. ⁶ But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them; for the king's word was abominable to Joab. ⁶ But Levi and Benjamin were not numbered among them, for Joab was disgusted with the king's order.⁶ But the Leuites and Beniamin counted he not among them: For the kinges word was abhominable to Ioab.⁶ But Levi and Benjamin he did not number among them; for the king's word was abominable to Joab.⁶ But Leui and Beniamin counted hee not among them: for the kings word was abominable to Ioab. ⁶ But he numbered not Levi and Benjamin among them; for the word of the king was painful to Joab.⁶ But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them: for the king’s word was abominable to Joab. ⁶ For Joab noumbride not Leuy and Beniamyn, for ayens his wille he dide the comaundement of the kyng.⁶ But Levi and Benjamin he did not count among them; for the king's word was disgusting to Joab.⁶ But Levi and Benjamin he counted not among them: for the king's word was abominable to Joab.⁶ But he did not count Levi and Benjamin among them, for the king's word was abominable to Joab. ⁶ But Joab did not include the tribes of Levi and Benjamin in the census because he was so distressed at what the king had made him do. ⁶ But Joab did not number Levi and Benjamin among them because he did not like what the king had told him to do. ⁶ But he did not include Levi and Benjamin in the numbering, for the king's command was abhorrent to Joab.⁶ But, Levi and Benjamin, counted he not among them, - for detestable was the word of the king unto Joab.⁶ But Levi and Benjamin he did not number: for Joab unwillingly executed the king’s orders.⁶ But he did not include Levi and Benjamin in the numbering, for the king's command was abhorrent to Jo'ab.⁶ And Levi and Benjamin he hath not numbered in their midst, for the word of the king was abominable with Joab.⁶ And he has not numbered Levi and Benjamin in their midst, for the word of the king was abominable with Joab.^6 (C1)But he did not ^(F1)number Levi and Benjamin among them, for the king's ^(F2)command was abhorrent to Joab.
