TSK · 1 Chronicles 21:4

But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.

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

But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
