The LORD moves David, saying, “Go, count Israel and Judah”

여호와께서 다윗을 감동시키사 이스라엘과 유다의 인구를 조사하라고 이르심

2 Samuel 24:1–3: again the LORD’s anger burns against Israel, and he moves David against them, saying, “Go, count Israel and Judah.” The king says to Joab the captain of the army, who was with him, “Now go back and forth through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, and count the people, that I may know the sum of the people.” Joab says to the king, “Now may the LORD your God add to the people, however many they may be, one hundred times; and may the eyes of my lord the king see it. But why does my lord the king delight in this thing?” The Korean Revised Version says the LORD moved David 저희를 치시려고, to strike them.
