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
During the reign of King David, Israel was a united kingdom experiencing relative peace and prosperity after years of conquests and consolidation. David ordered his military commander Joab to conduct a census of all the tribes from Dan in the north to Beersheba in the south, which represented the full extent of the land, likely to assess military strength. This action occurred in a context where such a count was seen as potentially displaying human pride rather than reliance on God, leading to divine judgment as described in the biblical narrative.
