1 Chronicles 21:6-8

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁶ Among these the Levites and the sons of Benjamin were not counted, for the king’s word was abominable to Joab.

⁷ ¶ And God was also displeased with this word; therefore, he smote Israel.

⁸ And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly because I have done this thing; but now, I beseech thee, take away the iniquity of thy slave, for I have done very foolishly.
