But Joab did not include Levi and Benjamin in the numbering, because the king’s command was repulsive to him.

But Joab didn’t include the tribes of Levi and Benjamin in the total number. The king’s command was sickening to Joab.

But he did not include Levi and Benjamin in the numbering, for the king’s command was abhorrent to Joab.

But Joab did not include the tribes of Levi and Benjamin in the census because he was so distressed at what the king had made him do.

But he did not include Levi and Benjamin in the count because the king’s command was detestable to him.

But he did not count Levi and Benjamin among them, because the king’s command was abhorrent to Joab.

But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them; for the king’s word was abominable to Joab.

But he did not include Levi and Benjamin in the count because the king’s command was detestable to him.

But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them: for the king’s word was abominable to Joab.

Now Joab did not number Levi and Benjamin, for the king’s edict disgusted him.

But he didn’t count Levi and Benjamin among them; for the king’s word was abominable to Joab.

Joab the son of Zeruiah began a census, but he did not finish, for wrath came upon Israel because of this census; nor was the number recorded in the account of the chronicles of King David.

But the Levites were not numbered among them by their fathers’ tribe;for the Lord had spoken to Moses, saying:“ Only the tribe of Levi you shall not number, nor take a census of them among the children of Israel;

Then Joab said to Amasa,“ Are you in health, my brother?” And Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.But Amasa did not notice the sword that was in Joab’s hand. And he struck him with it in the stomach, and his entrails poured out on the ground; and he did not strike him again. Thus he died. Then Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba the son of Bichri.

Now when Abner had returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside in the gate to speak with him privately, and there stabbed him in the stomach, so that he died for the blood of Asahel his brother.

And he wrote in the letter, saying,“ Set Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retreat from him, that he may be struck down and die.”So it was, while Joab besieged the city, that he assigned Uriah to a place where he knew there were valiant men.Then the men of the city came out and fought with Joab. And some of the people of the servants of David fell; and Uriah the Hittite died also.Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war,and charged the messenger, saying,“ When you have finished telling the matters of the war to the king,if it happens that the king’s wrath rises, and he says to you:‘ Why did you approach so near to the city when you fought? Did you not know that they would shoot from the wall?Who struck Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Was it not a woman who cast a piece of a millstone on him from the wall, so that he died in Thebez? Why did you go near the wall?’— then you shall say,‘ Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.’”
