The taking of a census was not in itself forbidden in the Law. The Bible does not say what objective moved David to number the people. However, 1 Chronicles 21:1 indicates that Satan incited him to do so. In any event, his military chief, Joab, knew that David's decision to register the people was wrong, and he tried to dissuade David from doing it. On David's part, there may have been wrong motive due to pride and trust in the numbers of his army, hence a failing to manifest full reliance on God. In any case, it is clear that on this occasion David's chief concern was not that of glorifying God.
