2 Samuel 24:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ Then they went toward the fort of Tyre. They went to all the towns of the Hivites and Canaanites. Finally, they went on to Beersheba. It was in the Negev Desert of Judah.

⁸ They finished going through the entire land. Then they came back to Jerusalem. They had been gone for nine months and 20 days.

⁹ Joab reported to the king how many fighting men he had counted. In Israel there were 800,000 men who were able to handle a sword. In Judah there were 500,000.
