TSK · 1 Chronicles 21:4

But the midwives feared God, and didn't do what the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the baby boys alive.

Notwithstanding, the king's word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the army. Joab and the captains of the army went out from the presence of the king, to number the people of Israel.

But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods, nor worship the golden image which you have set up.
