2 Samuel 24:8-10

New Life Version

⁸ When they had gone through the whole land, they came to Jerusalem. They had traveled nine months and twenty days. ⁹ And Joab gave the number of the people to the king. There were 800,000 strong men in Israel who used the sword, and 500,000 men of Judah.

¹⁰ David’s heart troubled him after he had numbered the people. So he said to the Lord, “I have sinned. But now I beg you, O Lord. Take away the sin of Your servant, for I have acted like a fool.”
