David Sins by Numbering Israel - 1 Chronicles 19-21

The Ammonites Dishonor David’s Men


David Defeats Ammon and Aram


War with Philistine Giants

[4] Now it happened afterwards, that war broke out at Gezer with the Philistines; then Sibbecai the Hushathite struck down Sippai, [one] among those born of the giants, and they were subdued. 
[5] And there was war with the Philistines again, and Elhanan the son of Jair struck down Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver's beam. 
[1Ch 20:4-5 LSB]

[8] These were born to the giants in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants. 
[1Ch 20:8 LSB]

David Sins by Numbering Israel

[1] Then Satan stood up against Israel and incited David to number Israel. 
[1Ch 21:1 LSB]

[17] And David said to God, "Is it not I who commanded to number the people? Indeed, I am the one who has sinned and done a great evil; but these sheep, what have they done? O Yahweh my God, please let Your hand be against me and my father's household, but not against Your people that they should be plagued." 
[1Ch 21:17 LSB]

David Erects an Altar

[29] Now the tabernacle of Yahweh, which Moses had made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering [were] in the high place at Gibeon at that time. 
[30] But David could not go before it to inquire of God, for he was terrified by the sword of the angel of Yahweh. 
[1Ch 21:29-30 LSB]
