2 “Take a census+ of the whole assembly of the Israelites* individually* according to their families, according to their paternal houses, according to the count of the names of all the males. 3 You and Aaron are to register by their companies* all those from 20 years old and up+ who can serve in the army in Israel.

9 Joʹab now gave to the king the number of the people who were registered. Israel amounted to 800,000 warriors armed with swords, and the men of Judah were 500,000.+
