2 Samuel24:3
3 And Joab said unto the king, Now the LORD thy God add unto the people (how many soever they be) an hundred fold, and that the eyes of my lord the king may see it: but why doth my lord the king delight in this thing ?
What reason or necessity is there for this Action? It is to no purpose, and will be burdensome to thy People, and may offend God, and produce ill Effects.
