4 But the king's order overruled Joab, so Joab left, traveled throughout all of Israel, and then returned to Jerusalem

5 to report the total population count to David. Throughout all of Israel there were 1,100,000 men trained for war. In Judah there were 470,000 men trained for war.

6 Levi and Benjamin were not included in the census, because what the king had commanded was unethical to Joab.
