1 Chronicles 21:3-6

³But 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?”

⁴Nevertheless, the king’s word prevailed against Joab. So Joab departed and traveled throughout Israel, and then he returned to Jerusalem.

⁵And Joab reported to David the total number of the troops. In all Israel there were 1, 100, 000 men who drew the sword, including 470, 000 in Judah.

⁶But Joab did not include Levi and Benjamin in the count, because the king’s command was detestable to him.
