2 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.
2 Basi mfalme akamwambia Yoabu, jemadari wa jeshi la askari, waliokuwa pamoja naye, Zunguka sasa katikati ya kabila zote za Israeli, tangu Dani mpaka Beer-sheba, mkawahesabu watu, nipate kujua jumla ya hao watu.
