Second Samuel 24:1

[This passage is thematically related to the famine caused by Saul's war against the Gibeonites.]
And again the anger of the Lord (Yahweh) was kindled against Israel, and he [the Lord (Yahweh) allowed Satan] provoked (seduced, incited, stirred up) David against them, saying, "Go and count Israel and Judah."
[In the parallel reference (1 Chron. 21:1), it is an accuser (Hebr. Satan) who urged David to count the people, but it is also clear that the Lord (Yahweh) allows Satan to test David. It was permissible according to the Torah to conduct a census, but there is a warning of pestilence if it was not done properly (Ex. 30:12). Since it was permitted and sometimes even encouraged (Num. 1:2; 4:2, 22; 26:2), this suggests that David's sin was not about counting the people. The problem was either David's motive for the census or the way in which it was carried out. Perhaps the purpose was to exalt himself and rely more on his own strength than on the Lord's. Alternatively, David did not fulfill the requirement that all registered men pay half a shekel as the ransom required (Ex. 30:13–16). What speaks in favor of the second alternative is that David had previously failed to follow all the regulations for an otherwise permissible act—the transport of the ark of the covenant—which had disastrous consequences (1 Chron. 6:7).]
