Notwithstanding the king's word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the host. And Joab and the captains of the host went out from the presence of the king, to number the people of Israel.

Verse 4 is found in chapter 24 of 2 Samuel. David orders a census of Israel and Judah, and Joab is tasked with traveling throughout the land. The narrative presents the census as an action that brings divine judgment, although the parallel text and biblical traditions allow different perspectives on its immediate cause. Within the narrative context, the problem appears related to trusting in the magnitude of human and military resources. The kingdom’s power must not replace dependence on God.
