1 Chronicles 21:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵ He told David how many people there were. In Israel there were 1,100,000 men who could use a sword. And there were 470,000 men in Judah who could use a sword. ⁶ But Joab did not count the tribes of Levi and Benjamin. He didn’t count them because he didn’t like King David’s order. ⁷ David had done something God had said was wrong. So God punished Israel.
