Joab{H3097} the son{H1121} of Zeruiah{H6870} began{H2490}{(H8689)} to number{H4487}{(H8800)}, but he finished{H3615}{(H8765)} not, because there fell wrath{H7110} for it{H2063} against Israel{H3478}; neither was the number{H4557} put{H5927}{(H8804)} in the account{H4557} of the chronicles{H1697}{H3117} of king{H4428} David{H1732}.
