know for certain that the Lord your God will not continue to drive these nations out before you. They will become a snare and a trap for you, a scourge for your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you disappear from this good land the Lord your God has given you.

I sent the hornet

ahead of you, and it drove out the two Amorite kings before you. It was not by your sword or bow.

You gave them kingdoms and peoples
and assigned them to be a boundary.
They took possession
of the land of Sihon king of Heshbon
and of the land of Og king of Bashan.

In days to come, Jacob will take root.
Israel will blossom and bloom
and fill the whole world with fruit.

The surviving remnant of the house of Judah will again take root downward and bear fruit upward.

They have grown and produced fruit.
You are ever on their lips,
but far from their conscience.

Joab gave the total troop registration to David. In all Israel there were 1,100,000 swordsmen and in Judah itself 470,000 swordsmen.

David didn’t count the men aged 20 or under, for the Lord had said He would make Israel as numerous as the stars of heaven.
