Shmuel Bais 24:8-10

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁸ So when they had gone through kol HaAretz, they came to Yerushalayim at the end of 9 months and 20 days.

⁹ And Yoav gave up the sum of the number of HaAm unto HaMelech; and there were in Yisroel Shmoneh Me’ot Elef ish chayil that drew the cherev; and the Ish Yehudah were chamesh Me’ot Elef ish.

¹⁰ And the lev Dovid struck him after that he had numbered HaAm. And Dovid said unto Hashem, Chatati (I have sinned) me’od (greatly) in what I have done; and now, Hashem, take away the avon (iniquity, guilt) of Thy eved; for I have done very foolishly.
