David's Counting of the Nation
Exegetical Approaches
Counted Heads
David sinned in directly counting the nation rather than using a redemptive object.
Unnecessary Cencus / Pride
No Sin of David
David did not sin in counting the nation. The plague resulted from the sins of the people, to punish them for their role in joining Avshalom's rebellion.
