1 Chronicles 21:4 in Context — 1 Chronicles 21

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?

4 Mas o mandamento do rei pode mais que Joabe. Saiu por tanto Joabe, e foi por todo Israel; e voltou a Jerusalém, e deu a conta do número do povo a Davi.

5 E achou-se em todo Israel que tiravam espada, onze vezes cem mil; e de Judá quatrocentos e setenta mil homens que tiravam espada.

6 Entre estes não foram contados os levitas, nem os filhos de Benjamim, porque Joabe abominava o mandamento do rei.
