1_o chron._n 21._o chapter_n and_o the_o 1._o verse_n that_o satan_n stand_v up_o against_o israel_n to_o provoke_v david_n to_o number_n israel_n it_o be_v not_o say_v thus_o and_o satan_n stand_v

the_o town_n in_o tempt_v that_o one_o man_n he_o stand_v up_o against_o israel_n and_o tempt_v david_n to_o number_v the_o people_n and_o so_o when_o he_o tempt_v those_o that_o be_v the_o most_o
