Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

1 Chronicles 20
⁶ Again there was war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot; and he also was descended from the giants.
⁷ When he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David’s brother, killed him.
⁸ These were descended from the giants in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
1 Chronicles 21
¹ Then Satan stood up against Israel and moved David to number Israel.
² So David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, "Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan, and bring me word that I may know their number."
³ Joab said, "May the Lord add to His people a hundred times as many as they are! But, my lord the king, are they not all my lord’s servants? Why does my lord seek this thing? Why should he be a cause of guilt to Israel?"
⁴ Nevertheless, the king’s word prevailed against Joab. Therefore, Joab departed and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
⁵ Joab gave the number of the census of all the people to David. And all Israel were 1,100,000 men who drew the sword; and Judah was 470,000 men who drew the sword.
⁶ But he did not number Levi and Benjamin among them, for the king’s command was abhorrent to Joab.
⁷ God was displeased with this thing, so He struck Israel.
⁸ David said to God, "I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing. But now, please take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have done very foolishly."
