23 King David did not take a census
of the people who were under the

promise to make the people of Israel
as numerous as the stars in the sky. note
24 Joab, whose mother was Zeruiah,
began to take a census, but he did
not complete it. God punished Israel
because of this census, so the final
figures were never recorded in King
David's official records. note
