1 Chronicles 27:23-24 King James Version (KJV)
23 But David took not the number of them from twenty years old and under: because the Lord had said he would increase Israel like to the stars of the heavens.
24 Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number, but he finished not, because there fell wrath for it against Israel; neither was the number put in the account of the chronicles of king David.

1 Chronicles 27:23-24 Expanded Bible (EXB)
23 The Lord had promised to make the Israelites as ·many [numerous] as the stars ·in the sky [of heaven; Gen. 22:17; 26:4; Ex. 32:13]. So David did not count those younger than twenty years old. 24 Joab son of Zeruiah began ·to count [the census of] the people, but he did not finish. ·God became angry with [L Wrath came upon] Israel for counting the people, so the number of the people was not put in the ·history book about [chronicles/annals of] King David.

23 This was fulfilled by the time even prior to the Exodus. Those younger then twenty were not counted because they did not serve in the army so this could be seen as a list for his military.
24 God did not want him to count the people because David was not to have faith because of their numbers but because they had the Lord leading them.
