23David did not take the number of the men twenty years old or less, because the LORD had promised to make Israel as numerous as the stars in the sky.

24Joab son of Zeruiah began to count the men but did not finish. God’s wrath came on Israel on account of this numbering, and the number was not entered in the book Septuagint; Hebrew number of the annals of King David.
