1 Chronicles 21:6-8

Darby Translation

⁶ But Levi and Benjamin he did not count among them; for the king's word was abominable to Joab.

⁷ And God was displeased on account of this thing, and he smote Israel.

⁸ And David said to God, I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing; and now, I beseech thee, put away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
