પછી યોઆબે લડવૈયા માણસોની ગણતરીનો કુલ આંકડો દાઉદને જણાવ્યો. ઇઝરાયલમાં અગિયાર લાખ તલવાર ચલાવી શકે તેવા પુરુષો હતા. એકલા યહૂદિયામાં ચાર લાખ સિત્તેર હજાર સૈનિકો હતા.
हिन्दी1 इतिहास २१:५
तब योआब ने प्रजा की गिनती का जोड़, दाऊद को सुनाया और सब तलवार चलानेवाले पुरुष इस्राएल के तो ग्यारह लाख, और यहूदा के चार लाख सत्तर हजार ठहरे।

In context

3Joab said, “May the LORD make his people a hundred times as many as they are. But, my lord the king, aren’t they all my lord’s servants? Why does my lord require this thing? Why will he be a cause of guilt to Israel?”

4Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Joab. Therefore Joab departed and went throughout all Israel, then came to Jerusalem.

5Joab gave the sum of the census of the people to David. All those of Israel were one million one hundred thousand men who drew a sword; and in Judah were four hundred seventy thousand men who drew a sword.

6But he didn’t count Levi and Benjamin among them, for the king’s word was abominable to Joab.

7God was displeased with this thing; therefore he struck Israel.
