1 La colère de l’Éternel s’enflamma de nouveau contre Israël, et il excita David contre eux, en disant: Va, fais le dénombrement d’Israël et de Juda.
2 Et le roi dit à Joab, qui était chef de l’armée et qui se trouvait près de lui: Parcours toutes les tribus d’Israël, depuis Dan jusqu’à Beer-Schéba; qu’on fasse le dénombrement du peuple, et que je sache à combien il s’élève.
3 Joab dit au roi: Que l’Éternel, ton Dieu, rende le peuple cent fois plus nombreux, et que les yeux du roi mon seigneur le voient! Mais pourquoi le roi mon seigneur veut-il faire cela?
4 Le roi persista dans l’ordre qu’il donnait à Joab et aux chefs de l’armée; et Joab et les chefs de l’armée quittèrent le roi pour faire le dénombrement du peuple d’Israël.
