Verse 6 is found in chapter 24 of 2 Samuel. Joab and the commanders travel through the various regions and eventually return with the number of men fit for war. The scope of the census allows David to know quantitatively the strength of his kingdom, but the information acquires a negative theological dimension because national security cannot be reduced to numbers. The enumeration also prepares David’s conscience to react when he realizes the seriousness of what he has done.

und kamen gen Gilead und ins Niederland Hodsi, und kamen gen Dan-Jaan und um Sidon her,
Después vinieron a Galaad, y a la tierra baja de Absi: y de allí vinieron a Dan-jaán y alrededor de Sidón.
Llegaron a Galaad y a la tierra de Tahtim-hodsi. Luego fueron a Danjaán y a los alrededores de Sidón.
Ils allèrent en Galaad et dans le pays de Thachthim-Hodschi. Ils allèrent à Dan-Jaan, et aux environs de Sidon.
Poi vennero in Galaad, e nel paese delle contrade basse, cioè in Hodsi; poi vennero in Dan-Iaan, e ne’ contorni di Sidon.
E foram a Gileade, e à terra baixa de Hodsi; também foram até Dã-Jaã, e ao redor de Sidom.
