An Application
2SA 24:1 interesting insight into the strategic overhead that resulted in such a national calamity. The reason for God's anger was not named, perhaps was their national pride in themselves rather than in their God. / Poor Joab, warned the king not to initiate a census but being overruled, spent almost 10 months of his life doing what he knew was a bad idea. / 2SA 24:24, David's comment was definitely one for the history books.
Connect the Dots
In 2SA 24:1, it could be argued God "allowed" David to sin, but since God is sovereign, a word like "caused" was chosen (compare parallel in 1CH 21:1, and later 1KI 22:19-23). / The census was a disaster, with additional details provided in the parallel 1CH 21:6-7, 27:23-24.
