23 David hadn’t included men who were less than twenty years old when he’d ordered a census, because Yahweh had promised that he would multiply the Israelis like stars in the sky.[ref] 24 Yoav (Joab) (Tseruyah’s son) began the count, but never finished it, because Yahweh’s anger had struck Yisrael,[ref] so the census result wasn’t recorded in the record of King David’s reign.
