1 Chronicles 21:3-5

Common English Bible

³ But Joab replied, “May the Lord increase his people a hundred times! Sir, aren’t you the king, and aren’t they all your servants? Why do you want to do this? Why bring guilt on Israel?”

⁴ But the king overruled Joab, who left and traveled throughout all Israel. When he returned to Jerusalem, ⁵ he reported to David the total number: there were 1,100,000 men available for military service in all Israel, while Judah alone had 470,000.
