2 And|strong="H3478" the|strong="H3605" king|strong="H4428" said to|strong="H5704" Joab|strong="H3097" the|strong="H3605" captain|strong="H8269" of|strong="H4428" the|strong="H3605" host|strong="H2428", which|strong="H5971" was|strong="H3478" with|strong="H3045" him|strong="H3605", Go|strong="H5971" now|strong="H4994" to|strong="H5704" and|strong="H3478" fro|strong="H7751" through|strong="H3605" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" tribes|strong="H7626" of|strong="H4428" Israel|strong="H3478", from|strong="H3478" Dan|strong="H1835" even|strong="H5704" to|strong="H5704" Beer-sheba, and|strong="H3478" number|strong="H4557" ye|strong="H3045" the|strong="H3605" people|strong="H5971", that|strong="H3045" I|strong="H5704" may|strong="H4994" know|strong="H3045" the|strong="H3605" sum|strong="H4557" of|strong="H4428" the|strong="H3605" people|strong="H5971".
3 And|strong="H3967" Joab|strong="H3097" said|strong="H1697" unto|strong="H3068" the|strong="H7200" king|strong="H4428", Now|strong="H6471" the|strong="H7200" LORD|strong="H3068" thy|strong="H3068" God|strong="H3068" add|strong="H3254" unto|strong="H3068" the|strong="H7200" people|strong="H5971", how|strong="H4100" many|strong="H4100" soever|strong="H1992" they|strong="H1992" be|strong="H1697", an|strong="H7200" hundredfold|strong="H3967", and|strong="H3967" may|strong="H3068" the|strong="H7200" eyes|strong="H5869" of|strong="H4428" my|strong="H3068" lord|strong="H3068" the|strong="H7200" king|strong="H4428" see|strong="H7200" it|strong="H7200": but|strong="H7200" why|strong="H4100" doth|strong="H3068" my|strong="H3068" lord|strong="H3068" the|strong="H7200" king|strong="H4428" delight|strong="H2654" in|strong="H3068" this|strong="H2088" thing|strong="H1697"?
4 Notwithstanding the|strong="H6440" king|strong="H4428"’s word|strong="H1697" prevailed|strong="H2388" against|strong="H5921" Joab|strong="H3097", and|strong="H3478" against|strong="H5921" the|strong="H6440" captains|strong="H8269" of|strong="H4428" the|strong="H6440" host|strong="H2428". And|strong="H3478" Joab|strong="H3097" and|strong="H3478" the|strong="H6440" captains|strong="H8269" of|strong="H4428" the|strong="H6440" host|strong="H2428" went|strong="H3318" out|strong="H3318" from|strong="H3318" the|strong="H6440" presence|strong="H6440" of|strong="H4428" the|strong="H6440" king|strong="H4428", to|strong="H3318" number|strong="H6485" the|strong="H6440" people|strong="H5971" of|strong="H4428" Israel|strong="H3478".
5 And|strong="H5892" they|strong="H5892" passed|strong="H5674" over|strong="H5674" Jordan|strong="H3383", and|strong="H5892" pitched|strong="H2583" in|strong="H2583" Aroer|strong="H6177", on|strong="H5674" the|strong="H8432" right|strong="H3225" side|strong="H3225" of|strong="H5892" the|strong="H8432" city|strong="H5892" that|strong="H5892" is|strong="H5892" in|strong="H2583" the|strong="H8432" middle|strong="H8432" of|strong="H5892" the|strong="H8432" valley|strong="H5158" of|strong="H5892" Gad|strong="H1410", and|strong="H5892" unto|strong="H5674" Jazer|strong="H3270".
6 then they came to|strong="H5439" Gilead|strong="H1568", and|strong="H1568" to|strong="H5439" the|strong="H5439" land of|strong="H5439" Tahtim-hodshi|strong="H8483"; and|strong="H1568" they came to|strong="H5439" Dan-jaan|strong="H1842", and|strong="H1568" round|strong="H5439" about|strong="H5439" to|strong="H5439" Zidon|strong="H6721",

8 So when|strong="H3117" they|strong="H3117" had|strong="H3389" gone|strong="H7751" to|strong="H3117" and|strong="H6242" fro|strong="H7751" through|strong="H3605" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" land, they|strong="H3117" came to|strong="H3117" Jerusalem|strong="H3389" at|strong="H2320" the|strong="H3605" end|strong="H7097" of|strong="H3117" nine|strong="H8672" months|strong="H2320" and|strong="H6242" twenty|strong="H6242" days|strong="H3117".
9 And|strong="H3967" Joab|strong="H3097" gave|strong="H5414" up|strong="H5414" the|strong="H5414" sum|strong="H4557" of|strong="H4428" the|strong="H5414" numbering|strong="H4557" of|strong="H4428" the|strong="H5414" people|strong="H5971" unto|strong="H5414" the|strong="H5414" king|strong="H4428": and|strong="H3967" there|strong="H1961" were|strong="H3478" in|strong="H3478" Israel|strong="H3478" eight|strong="H8083" hundred|strong="H3967" thousand valiant|strong="H2428" men|strong="H5971" that|strong="H5971" drew|strong="H8025" the|strong="H5414" sword|strong="H2719"; and|strong="H3967" the|strong="H5414" men|strong="H5971" of|strong="H4428" Judah|strong="H3063" were|strong="H3478" five|strong="H2568" hundred|strong="H3967" thousand men|strong="H5971".
10 And|strong="H3068" David|strong="H1732"’s heart|strong="H3820" smote|strong="H5221" him|strong="H5221" after|strong="H3588" that|strong="H3588" he|strong="H3588" had|strong="H3068" numbered|strong="H5608" the|strong="H3588" people|strong="H5971". And|strong="H3068" David|strong="H1732" said|strong="H3651" unto|strong="H6213" the|strong="H3588" LORD|strong="H3068", I|strong="H3588" have|strong="H3068" sinned|strong="H2398" greatly|strong="H3966" in|strong="H3068" that|strong="H3588" I|strong="H3588" have|strong="H3068" done|strong="H6213": but|strong="H3588" now|strong="H6258", O|strong="H3068" LORD|strong="H3068", put|strong="H6213" away|strong="H5674", I|strong="H3588" beseech|strong="H4994" thee|strong="H6213", the|strong="H3588" iniquity|strong="H5771" of|strong="H3068" thy|strong="H3068" servant|strong="H5650"; for|strong="H3588" I|strong="H3588" have|strong="H3068" done|strong="H6213" very|strong="H3966" foolishly|strong="H5528".
11 And|strong="H6965" when|strong="H1961" David|strong="H1732" rose|strong="H6965" up|strong="H6965" in|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" morning|strong="H1242", the|strong="H3068" word|strong="H1697" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" LORD|strong="H3068" came|strong="H1961" unto|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" prophet|strong="H5030" Gad|strong="H1410", David|strong="H1732"’s seer|strong="H2374", saying|strong="H1697",
12 Go|strong="H1980" and|strong="H1980" speak|strong="H1696" unto|strong="H1696" David|strong="H1732", Thus|strong="H3541" saith|strong="H1696" the|strong="H5921" LORD|strong="H3068", I|strong="H3541" offer|strong="H6213" thee|strong="H6213" three|strong="H7969" things|strong="H7969"; choose thee|strong="H6213" one|strong="H6213" of|strong="H3068" them|strong="H1992", that|strong="H3068" I|strong="H3541" may|strong="H3068" do|strong="H6213" it|strong="H5921" unto|strong="H1696" thee|strong="H6213".
13 So|strong="H7971" Gad|strong="H1410" came|strong="H1961" to|strong="H7725" David|strong="H1732", and|strong="H7971" told|strong="H5046" him|strong="H6440", and|strong="H7971" said|strong="H1697" unto|strong="H7725" him|strong="H6440", Shall|strong="H3117" seven|strong="H7651" years|strong="H8141" of|strong="H3117" famine|strong="H7458" come|strong="H1961" unto|strong="H7725" thee|strong="H6440" in|strong="H8141" thy|strong="H7200" land|strong="H6440"? or|strong="H3117" wilt thou|strong="H3045" flee|strong="H5127" three|strong="H7969" months|strong="H2320" before|strong="H6440" thy|strong="H7200" foes|strong="H6862" while|strong="H1961" they|strong="H3117" pursue|strong="H7291" thee|strong="H6440"? or|strong="H3117" shall|strong="H3117" there|strong="H1961" be|strong="H1961" three|strong="H7969" days|strong="H3117" pestilence|strong="H1698" in|strong="H8141" thy|strong="H7200" land|strong="H6440"? now|strong="H6258" advise|strong="H3045" thee|strong="H6440", and|strong="H7971" consider|strong="H7200" what|strong="H4100" answer|strong="H7725" I|strong="H3117" shall|strong="H3117" return|strong="H7725" to|strong="H7725" him|strong="H6440" that|strong="H3045" sent|strong="H7971" me|strong="H6440".

15 So|strong="H4480" the|strong="H5414" LORD|strong="H3068" sent|strong="H5414" a|strong="H3068" pestilence|strong="H1698" upon|strong="H1698" Israel|strong="H3478" from|strong="H4480" the|strong="H5414" morning|strong="H1242" even|strong="H5704" to|strong="H5704" the|strong="H5414" time|strong="H6256" appointed|strong="H4150": and|strong="H3478" there|strong="H4480" died|strong="H4191" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H5414" people|strong="H5971" from|strong="H4480" Dan|strong="H1835" even|strong="H5704" to|strong="H5704" Beer-sheba seventy|strong="H7657" thousand men|strong="H5971".
