  • The Census Of David.
    2 Samuel 24:1
    And again the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.
    1 Chronicles 21
    And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.
    So which was it? Is this a Contradiction?
    It's a nugget. Proverbs 25:2 says
    "It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter".
    We Need More Data
    Nothing in the immediate preceding context . Why The Lord and the Adversary (Satan) both what a census.
    A common interpretation, it that is was David's pride.
    Perhaps, but there is much more to the story.
    Here is a clue
    1 Chronicles 21 Joab’s answer
    "why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel".
    What is the trespass? Exodus 30:12 tells us.
    More to come in part 2

    Great video. Always awesome to see how the Scriptures mesh beautifully. Scripture interprets Scripture.
