1 Chronicles 21:5

David’s Military Census

4Nevertheless, the king’s word prevailed against Joab. So Joab departed and traveled throughout Israel, and then he returned to Jerusalem.5And Joab reported to David the total number of the troops. In all Israel there were 1,100,000 men who drew the sword, including 470,000 in Judah.6But Joab did not include Levi and Benjamin in the count, because the king’s command was detestable to him.
