1 Chronicles 21:6-8

Revised Geneva Translation

⁶ But he did not count the Levites and Benjamin among them; for the king’s word was abominable to Joab.

⁷ And God was displeased with this thing. Therefore, He struck Israel.

⁸ Then David said to God, “I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing. But now, I pray, remove the iniquity of Your servant. For I have acted very foolishly.”
