2 Samuel 23-24; I Chronicles 21:1-19
We read two different perspectives on this story in 2 Samuel and I Chronicles. Each offers details in various areas and we get a more complete picture by reading both accounts. David has been described as a “man after God’s own heart”. He has not been perfect, but he has genuinely sought after God’s will and when he has messed up – he truly has been sorry. As David’s life comes to an end, we read about an interesting decision that David made. He decided to take a census – to count the men of Israel. Joab even questioned this decision. Why was this such a big deal?
What was the “great sin” that David is talking about?
Why was this a “great sin”?
Do we do anything in our lives that is similar to this sin?
Do you think the punishment for the sin was appropriate?
