Joab the son of Zeruiah began to take a census, but didn’t finish; and wrath came on Israel for this. The number wasn’t put into the account in the chronicles of king David.

The Lord’s anger burned against Israel again, and He stirred up David against them to say:“ Go, count the people of Israel and Judah.”So the king said to Joab, the commander of his army,“ Go through all the tribes of Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba and register the troops so I can know their number.”Joab replied to the king,“ May the Lord your God multiply the troops 100 times more than they are— while my lord the king looks on! But why does my lord the king want to do this?”Yet the king’s order prevailed over Joab and the commanders of the army. So Joab and the commanders of the army left the king’s presence to register the troops of Israel.They crossed the Jordan and camped in Aroer, south of the town in the middle of the valley, and then proceeded toward Gad and Jazer.They went to Gilead and to the land of the Hittites and continued on to Dan-jaan and around to Sidon.They went to the fortress of Tyre and all the cities of the Hivites and Canaanites. Afterward, they went to the Negev of Judah at Beer-sheba.When they had gone through the whole land, they returned to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and 20 days.Joab gave the king the total of the registration of the troops. There were 800,000 fighting men from Israel and 500,000 men from Judah.David’s conscience troubled him after he had taken a census of the troops. He said to the Lord,“ I have sinned greatly in what I’ve done. Now, Lord, because I’ve been very foolish, please take away Your servant’s guilt.”When David got up in the morning, a revelation from the Lord had come to the prophet Gad, David’s seer:“ Go and say to David,‘ This is what the Lord says: I am offering you three choices. Choose one of them, and I will do it to you.’”So Gad went to David, told him the choices, and asked him,“ Do you want three years of famine to come on your land, to flee from your foes three months while they pursue you, or to have a plague in your land three days? Now, think it over and decide what answer I should take back to the One who sent me.”David answered Gad,“ I have great anxiety. Please, let us fall into the Lord’s hands because His mercies are great, but don’t let me fall into human hands.”So the Lord sent a plague on Israel from that morning until the appointed time, and from Dan to Beer-sheba 70,000 men died.

Satan stood up against Israel and incited David to count the people of Israel.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.”Joab replied,“ May the Lord multiply the number of His people a hundred times over! 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?”Yet the king’s order prevailed over Joab. So Joab left and traveled throughout Israel and then returned to Jerusalem.Joab gave the total troop registration to David. In all Israel there were 1,100,000 swordsmen and in Judah itself 470,000 swordsmen.But he did not include Levi and Benjamin in the count because the king’s command was detestable to him.This command was also evil in God’s sight, so He afflicted Israel.David said to God,“ I have sinned greatly because I have done this thing. Now, please take away Your servant’s guilt, for I’ve been very foolish.”Then the Lord instructed Gad, David’s seer,“ Go and say to David,‘ This is what the Lord says: I am offering you three choices. Choose one of them for yourself, and I will do it to you.’”So Gad went to David and said to him,“ This is what the Lord says:‘ Take your choice:three years of famine, or three months of devastation by your foes with the sword of your enemy overtaking you, or three days of the sword of the Lord— a plague on the land, the angel of the Lord bringing destruction to the whole territory of Israel.’ Now decide what answer I should take back to the One who sent me.”David answered Gad,“ I’m in anguish. Please, let me fall into the Lord’s hands because His mercies are very great, but don’t let me fall into human hands.”So the Lord sent a plague on Israel, and 70,000 Israelite men died.Then God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it, but when the angel was about to destroy the city, the Lord looked, relented concerning the destruction, and said to the angel who was destroying the people,“ Enough, withdraw your hand now!” The angel of the Lord was then standing at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.When David looked up and saw the angel of the Lord standing between earth and heaven, with his drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem, David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell down with their faces to the ground.David said to God,“ Wasn’t I the one who gave the order to count the people? I am the one who has sinned and acted very wickedly. But these sheep, what have they done? My Lord God, please let Your hand be against me and against my father’s family, but don’t let the plague be against Your people.”
