23 David did not take the number of the men twenty years old or less, because the Lord had promised to make Israel as numerous as the stars in the sky.

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.

23 When David took his census, he did not count those who were younger than twenty years of age, because the Lord had promised to make the Israelites as numerous as the stars in heaven.

23 But David did not take the number of those twenty years old and under, because the Lord had said He would multiply Israel like the stars of the heavens.

23 The Lord had promised to make the Israelites as many as the stars in the sky. So David only counted the men who were twenty years old and older.

23 But David took not the number of them from twenty years old and under, because Jehovah had said he would increase Israel like to the stars of heaven.

23 And David took not their number from twenty years old and under; for Jehovah had said he would increase Israel as the stars of heaven.

23 David didn’t count those under 20 years old, because the Lord had promised that the people of Israel would be as numerous as the stars in the sky.

23 David didn’t count the men aged 20 or under, for the Lord had said He would make Israel as numerous as the stars of heaven.

23 David did not count those below twenty years of age, for the Lord had promised to make Israel as numerous as the stars of heaven.

23 And David did not take a census of those twenty years old or under because Yahweh promised to make Israel more numerous than the stars of heaven.

23 David didn’t count the men who were 20 years old or less. That’s because the Lord had promised to make the people of Israel as many as the stars in the sky.

23 But David did not count those twenty years of age and under, because the Lord had said He would multiply Israel as the stars of heaven.
