2 Samuel 24:8-10

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁸ When they had gone through the whole land, they returned to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and 20 days. ⁹ Joab gave the king the total of the registration of the troops. There were 800,000 fighting men from Israel and 500,000 men from Judah.^(A)

¹⁰ David’s conscience troubled him^(B) after he had taken a census of the troops. He said to the Lord, “I have sinned greatly in what I’ve done. Now, Lord, because I’ve been very foolish,^(C) please take away Your servant’s guilt.”
