2 E disse Davi a Joabe e a os príncipes do povo: Ide, contai a Israel desde Berseba até Dã, e trazei-me o número deles para que eu o saiba.

3 E disse Joabe: Acrescente o SENHOR a seu povo cem vezes outros tantos. Rei senhor meu, não são todos estes servos de meu senhor? Para que procura meu senhor isto, que será pernicioso a Israel?
