These were the (C)leaders of the tribes of Israel. 23 David did not count those below twenty years of age, for the (D)Lord had promised to make Israel as many as the stars of heaven. 24 Joab the son of Zeruiah began to count, but (E)did not finish. Yet (F)wrath came upon Israel for this, and the number was not entered in the chronicles of King David.
