2 Samuel 24:4
Westminster Leningrad Codex · Berean Standard Bible
וַיֶּחֱזַ֤ק דְּבַר־ הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ אֶל־ יוֹאָ֔ב וְעַ֖ל שָׂרֵ֣י הֶחָ֑יִל וַיֵּצֵ֨א יוֹאָ֜ב וְשָׂרֵ֤י הַחַ֙יִל֙ לִפְנֵ֣י הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ לִפְקֹ֥ד אֶת־ הָעָ֖ם אֶת־ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Nevertheless, the king’s word prevailed against Joab and against the commanders of the army. So Joab and the commanders of the army departed from the presence of the king to register the troops of Israel.
