The teachers of Yisrael’s descendants

1 Chr 27:16–24

16There were certain tribal leaders over each of Yisrael’s tribes:

Those were the commanders of Yisrael’s tribes.

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

1Ch 21:1-14:

Yoav doesn’t want to do the census

21Then a trouble-maker went against Yisrael by encouraging David to take a census of Yisrael, 2So David ordered Yoav and the other officials, “Go and count Yisrael from Be’er-Sheva in the south and as far north as Dan, then come and tell me so that I’ll know how many warriors I have.”

3“My master, the king, may Yahweh multiply his people one hundred times over. Aren’t they all your servants?” Yoav diplomaticaly queried, “So why does my master want to do this? Why should he bring judgement on Yisrael?” 4But the king insisted, so Yoav was forced to go and survey the entire country. Then he returned to Yerushalem 5and reported the numbers to David. Yisrael had 1.1 million sword-wielding men, and Yehudah had 470 thousand. 6However, Yoav had intentionally not counted the tribes of Levi and Benyamin, because he was horrified by the king’s command.

Punishment for the census

7God was displeased by what David had ordered, and he punished Yisrael, 8and David said to God, “I’ve disobeyed you badly by doing that. Please forgive your servant for his disobedience, because I’ve been very stupid.”

9Then Yahweh told David’s prophet Gad, 10“Go and tell David that Yahweh says this: I’ll give you three options—choose one of them and that’s what I’ll do to you.”

11So Gad went to David and told his, “Yahweh says that you must choose one of these punishments: 12either three years of famine, or three months of being overcome by your enemies’ armies, or three days of Yahweh’s ‘sword’ of pestilence in the land and the Yahweh’s messenger bringing destruction across all of Yisrael’s territory. So now, tell me what answer I should take back to the one who sent me?”

13Oh, that’s very distressing,” David replied to Gad, “but please don’t let me fall into the hands of my enemies. Yahweh is very merciful, so please let him be the one to punish me directly.”

14So Yahweh sent a disease throughout Yisrael and seventy thousand Israeli men died.
