1 Chronicles 21:6-8

Living Bible

⁶ But he didn’t include the tribes of Levi and Benjamin in his figures because he was so distressed at what the king had made him do.

⁷ And God, too, was displeased with the census and punished Israel for it.

⁸ But David said to God, “I am the one who has sinned. Please forgive me, for I realize now how wrong I was to do this.”
