New American Standard Bible

Chapter 21

5Then Joab gave the number of the census of the people to David. Israel was 1,100,000 men in all who drew the sword; and Judah was 470,000 men who drew the sword. 6But he did not count Levi and Benjamin among them, because the king’s command was abhorrent to Joab.
7Now God was displeased with this thing, so He struck Israel. 8David said to God, 'I have sinned greatly, by doing this thing. But now, please overlook Your servant’s guilt, for I have behaved very foolishly.'
9The Lord spoke to Gad, David’s seer, saying, 10Go and speak to David, saying, ‘This is what the Lord says: 'I extend to you three choices; choose for yourself one of them, which I will do to you.'?’?'
King James Version

Chapter 21

5And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and an hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword. 6But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them: for the king's word was abominable to Joab. 7And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel.
8And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing: but now, I beseech thee, do away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly. 9And the Lord spake unto Gad, David's seer, saying, 10Go and tell David, saying, Thus saith the Lord, I offer thee three things: choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.

Chapter 21

5Joab gave the total troop registration to David. In all Israel there were one million one hundred thousand armed men and in Judah itself four hundred seventy thousand armed men. 6But he did not include Levi and Benjamin in the count because the king’s command was detestable to him. 7This command was also evil in God’s sight, so he afflicted Israel.
8David said to God, "I have sinned greatly because I have done this thing. Now, please take away your servant’s guilt, for I’ve been very foolish."
9Then the Lord instructed Gad, David’s seer, 10"Go and say to David, ‘This is what the Lord says: I am offering you three choices. Choose one of them for yourself, and I will do it to you.’"
New Living Translation

Chapter 21

5and reported the number of people to David. There were 1,100,000 warriors in all Israel who could handle a sword, and 470,000 in Judah. 6But Joab did not include the tribes of Levi and Benjamin in the census because he was so distressed at what the king had made him do.
7God was very displeased with the census, and he punished Israel for it. 8Then David said to God, 'I have sinned greatly by taking this census. Please forgive my guilt for doing this foolish thing.'
9Then the Lord spoke to Gad, David’s seer. This was the message: 10Go and say to David, ‘This is what the Lord says: I will give you three choices. Choose one of these punishments, and I will inflict it on you.’'

5And Joab gave the sum of the numbering of the people to David. In all Israel there were 1,100,000 men who drew the sword, and in Judah 470,000 who drew the sword. 6But he did not include Levi and Benjamin in the numbering, for the king 's command was abhorrent to Joab.
7But God was displeased with this thing, and he struck Israel. 8And 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 acted very foolishly." 9And the Lord spoke to Gad, David 's seer, saying, 10"Go and say to David, ‘Thus says the Lord, Three things I offer you; choose one of them, that I may do it to you.’"

Chapter 21

5Joab reported the number of the fighting men to David: In all Israel there were one million one hundred thousand men who could handle a sword, including four hundred and seventy thousand in Judah.
6But Joab did not include Levi and Benjamin in the numbering, because the king’s command was repulsive to him. 7This command was also evil in the sight of God; so he punished Israel.
8Then David said to God, "I have sinned greatly by doing this. Now, I beg you, take away the guilt of your servant. I have done a very foolish thing."
9The Lord said to Gad, David’s seer, 10"Go and tell David, ‘This is what the Lord says: I am giving you three options. Choose one of them for me to carry out against you.’ "
