| I Chronicles 21:6 | But Levi and Benjamin he did not number: for Joab unwillingly executed the king's orders. | Number. These might therefore escape the pestilence. (Du Hamel) --- For. Hebrew, "because the king's word was abominable to Joab." We read that Benjamin was numbered unto David, 1 Paralipomenon 7:5, 11.
