Joab and the captains of the army pass over the Jordan and go through all the land to count the people of Israel

요압과 장관들이 요단을 건너 국중을 두루 돌며 이스라엘 인구를 조사함

2 Samuel 24:4–9: the king’s word prevails against Joab and against the captains of the army. Joab and the captains of the army go out from the presence of the king to count the people of Israel. They pass over the Jordan and encamp in Aroer, on the right side of the city that is in the middle of the valley of Gad, and to Jazer; then they come to Gilead and to the land of Tahtim Hodshi; and they come to Dan Jaan and around to Sidon, and come to the stronghold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites and of the Canaanites; and they go out to the south of Judah, at Beersheba. So when they have gone back and forth through all the land, they come to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days. Joab gives up the sum of the counting of the people to the king; and there are in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men who drew the sword, and the men of Judah are five hundred thousand men. The Korean Revised Version reads 갓 골짜기 가운데 성읍 아로엘 우편 곧 야셀 맞은편 at 24:5, naming the valley of Gad before Aroer, and 유다 남편 for the south of Judah at 24:7.
