- "And Joabª answered,ª° The LORDª make his peopleª an hundredª timesª so many moreª° as theyª [be]: but, my lordª the king,ª [are] they not¹ all¹ my lord'sª servants?ª why¹ then doth my lordª requireª° this thing?¹ why¹ will he be¹ a cause of trespassª to Israel?ª ... But Leviª and Benjaminª countedª° he not¹ amongª them: for¹ the king'sª wordª was abominableª° to¹ Joab.ª" {1Ch 21:3-6} + "Reproveª° not¹ a scorner,ª° lest¹ he hateª° thee: rebukeª° a wise man,ª and he will loveª° thee. ...
