Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.

Verse 4 is found in chapter 21 of 1 Chronicles. David orders a census of Israel and later acknowledges his sin. The episode focuses on the spiritual consequences of trusting in a measurement of national power rather than depending on God. The plague demonstrates the communal dimension of the king’s sin, while David finally confesses and asks that the punishment fall on him rather than the people.

Aber des Königs Wort stand fest wider Joab. Und Joab zog aus und wandelte durch das ganze Israel und kam gen Jerusalem
Mas el mandamiento del rey pudo más que Joab. Salió por tanto Joab, y fue por todo Israel; y volvió a Jerusalem, y dio la cuenta del número del pueblo a David.
Le roi persista dans l'ordre qu'il donnait à Joab. Et Joab partit, et parcourut tout Israël; puis il revint à Jérusalem.
Ma la parola del re prevalse a Ioab. Ioab adunque si partì, e andò attorno per tutto Israele; poi tornò in Gerusalemme.
Porém a palavra do rei prevaleceu contra Joabe; por isso saiu Joabe, e passou por todo o Israel; então voltou para Jerusalém.
但王堅持他對 約押 的命令。 約押 就出去,來回走遍 以色列 ,然後回到 耶路撒冷 。
