3And Joab said, May the Lord add to his people, a hundredfold as many as they are, and let the eyes of my lord the king see it: all are the servants of my lord. Why does my lord seek this thing? do it not, lest it become a sin to Israel.
4Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Joab; and Joab went out and passed through all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
— 1 Chronicles 21:5 —
6But he numbered not Levi and Benjamin among them; for the word of the king was painful to Joab.
7And there was evil in the sight of the Lord respecting this thing; and he smote Israel.
