For the king said to Joab the captain of the host, which was with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, and number ye the people, that I may know the number of the people.
El rey le dijo a Joab, el comandante de su ejército que estaba con él: 'Ve por todas las tribus de Israel, desde Dan en el norte hasta Beerseba en el sur, y cuenta a todo el pueblo para que yo pueda saber cuántos son.'
David ordenó a Joab hacer un censo de todo Israel para conocer el número total del pueblo.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This takes place near the end of David's reign when he had established Israel as a powerful kingdom. Dan and Beersheba were the traditional northern and southern boundaries of Israel, representing the entire nation. Taking a census was often done for military or taxation purposes, but in this context it appears to be motivated by pride or lack of trust in God's provision.
