* And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel Yisra #el #, and he moved David against them to say , Go , number Israel and Judah . * For the king said to Joab the captain of the host , which was with him , Go now through all the tribes of Israel Yisra #el #, from Dan even to Beersheba B @#er , and number ye the people , that I may know the number of the people . * And Joab said unto the king , Now the LORD thy God add unto the people , how many soever they be , an hundredfold #H6471 pa #am #, and that the eyes of my lord the king may see it : but why doth my lord the king delight in this thing ? * Notwithstanding the kings word prevailed against Joab Yow #ab #, and against the captains of the host . And Joab and the captains of the host went out from the presence of the king , to number the people of Israel Yisra #el #. * And they passed over Jordan , and pitched in Aroer #Arow #er #, on the right side of the city that lieth in the midst of the river of Gad , and toward Jazer Ya #azeyr #: * Then they came to Gilead Gil #ad #, and to the land of Tahtimhodshi Tachtiym ; and they came to Danjaan Dan Ya #an #, and about to Zidon , * And came to the strong hold of Tyre , and to all the cities of the Hivites , and of the Canaanites K @na #aniy #: and they went out to the south of Judah , even to Beersheba B @#er . * So when they had gone through all the land , they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days . * And Joab gave up the sum of the number of the people unto the king : and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men # #Iysh-Chayil # that drew the sword ; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men .
