1 Chronicles 27:23-24a
What: David did not take the number of the men twenty years or less, because the Lord had promised to make Israel as numerous as the stars in the shy. Joab son of Zeruiah began to count the men but did not finish.
Refer to 1 Chronicles 21
Apply: This explains why the census of the army cause the wrath of God to be poured out on Israel. David was incitedby the devil (1 Chron 21:1) to count his fighting men, but God brought him to the mat through the prophet Gad giving him three options. David threw himself on God's mercy and a plague fell on Israel which the Lord stopped at the threshing floor of Araunah. This cross reference is an excellent example of how the Bible explains itself. The section in 1 Chron 21 has always confused me, until I final read the second selection which illuminated the why behind the Lord's wrath.
