Exegesis
The verse moves forward with two wayyiqtol forms, wayyitten {וַיִּתֵּ֥ן | wayyittēn} ‘and he gave’ followed by wayhi {וַיְהִ֣י | wayhî} ‘and it was’, a common narrative sequence that first reports the transfer of information and then states the resulting figures.
In context — 1 Chronicles 21:5
And Joab gave the number of the census of the people to David, and all Israel was 1,100,000 men drawing the sword, and Judah was 470,000 men drawing the sword.
