Some Observations |
It is not stated, but no doubt Israel is playing the tart again. God therefore gives permission to accusing Satan to attack the people. David’s heart, now moved to strength in numbers and joy from his accomplishments, is tempted to step off the edge of his own high heart’s building, and down he goes, yet even in his falling, commits himself into the hands of God the good, that He may do him good.

God is Lord over all, including plagues & disasters, God is the Lord.

1 Chronicles 21:1-8
Now Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel. So David said to Joab and to the leaders of the people, "Go, number Israel from Beersheba to Dan, and bring the number of them to me that I may know it." And Joab answered, "May the Lord make His people a hundred times more than they are. But, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? Why then does my lord require this thing? Why should he be a cause of guilt in Israel?" Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Therefore Joab departed and went throughout all Israel and came to Jerusalem. 5 Then Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to David. All Israel had one million one hundred thousand men who drew the sword, and Judah had four hundred and seventy thousand men who drew the sword. But he did not count Levi and Benjamin among them, for the king's word was abominable to Joab. And God was displeased with this thing; therefore He struck Israel. NKJV
