21:1 An adversary 1 opposed 2 Israel, inciting David to count how many warriors Israel had. 3 21:2 David told Joab and the leaders of the army, 4 “Go, count the number of warriors 5 from Beer Sheba to Dan. Then bring back a report to me so I may know how many we have.” 6
17:16 David went in, sat before the Lord, and said: “Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my family, 9 that you should have brought me to this point? 17:17 And you did not stop there, O God! You have also spoken about the future of your servant’s family. 10 You have revealed to me what men long to know, 11 O Lord God. 17:18 What more can David say 12 to you? You have honored your servant; you have given your servant special recognition. 13 17:19 O Lord, for the sake of your servant and according to your will, 14 you have done this great thing in order to reveal your greatness. 15
