1 Chron. 20:8      1 Chron. 21:2

First Chronicles 21:1

But Satan (the Accuser, the adversary) rose up against Israel and incited (seduced, provoked, incited) David to number Israel.
[Hebr. Satan is used here in the indefinite form, in Job 1:12; 2:6 and Zech. 3:1–2 the definite form ha-Satan is used. In the parallel passage in 2 Sam 24:1, Satan is not mentioned. According to the Torah, it was permissible to conduct a census, but there is a warning about pestilence if it was not done properly (Ex. 30:12). The fact that it was permitted and sometimes even encouraged (Num. 1:2; 4:2, 22; 26:2) 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).]
