G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 21:1-30

The cause of David's action in numbering Israel is distinctly stated to be Satan. Therein lies a revelation of its nature. The one sin of Satan is that of pride and ambition, and this was the sin of David. His victories had resulted in the lifting up of his spirit, and in arrogance he would know the number of the people that he might make his boast therein. In this he persisted, notwithstanding the protest of Joab. The chief interest of this chapter for us lies in the revelation of the true... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 21:1-30

1 Chronicles 21:1 to 1 Chronicles 22:1— The Numbering of the Hosts; the Punishment (see notes on 2 Samuel 24:1-Lamentations :).— There are many variations from the corresponding passage in 2 S., and it is uncertain whether the Chronicler used any other source or not. 1 Chronicles 21:1. And Satan stood up: in 2 Samuel 24:1 the temptation comes from Yahweh; the Chronicler altered this as unfitting in view of the developed doctrine of God which had supervened. In the earlier literature the term... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Chronicles 21:6

Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them; partly for the following reason, and principally by God’s special and gracious providence to these two tribes; to Levi, because they were devoted to his service; and to Benjamin, because they were the least of all the tribes, having been almost extinct, Judges 21:0, and because God foresaw that they would be faithful to the house of David in the division of the tribes, and therefore he would not have them diminished. And Joab presumed to leave these... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 21:1-30

Chapter 21In chapter twenty-one.And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel. And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, and number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it ( 1 Chronicles 21:1-2 ).Now this was a sin on David's part, and no doubt a sin of pride. David had, as I said, this is a record of the final conquest of David in chapter twenty. David had been very victorious over their enemies. They... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Chronicles 21:1-30

1 Chronicles 21:1 . Satan stood up against Israel; that is, the accuser, or calumniator. 1 Chronicles 21:3 . Why will my lord the king be a cause of trespass to Israel? Joab was struck with the sin, and in a way we can scarcely account for. Satan, who knew the elated state of Israel, and who knows how to catch men by their passions, availed himself of the popular humour of the king and the people, to draw them to a boasting and wanton pride. 1 Chronicles 21:5 . Joab gave the number, ... read more

All the world seems to be under a spell or charm; inward influences move men as steam moves a ship. There am three spells.1. One is that of parentage. The spell of a virtuous parentage influences its children’s children, like a good charm, for thousands of generations; but, on the other hand, the wickedness of a parent generally ceases to influence his offspring at,... read more
