Late in David's life he decided that he wanted to number the people of Israel. In other words, he wanted a census to be taken. No specific reason was given for David's desire to count the people, but as we study through this chapter, the reasons become clear.

There is some question as to who incited David to do this. From reading both this account and a parallel account found in first Chronicles, we understand that the anger of the Lord burned against Israel and that Satan incited, or tempted David to take this census.

We also know that Joab, the commander of the army who was with him, tried to change David's mind with very strong words. Apparently, the other commanders of the army also tried to convince David not to do this thing. But David went against all counsel and insisted on getting his way. He wanted the census taken and he would not change his mind.

By the time David had become an older man, Israel had become a strong and successful nation. In fact, other nations around Israel were paying tribute to David in recognition of his superiority over them. No foreign armies had been able to defeat Israel with David as their king.

But just how successful had David become? Just how powerful were David's forces? There would be only one way to know; take a census and find out. David here wasn't looking to declare how great God was, this one was all about David.

Had David lost some of his faith in his older years? Was he beginning to rely on himself rather than God? Before David would die, they would be one final revival in David’s heart.
