David's decision to take a census of the people was considered a sin because it demonstrated a lack of trust in God’s ability to protect and provide for Israel. Instead of relying on divine support, David's action suggested he was placing his confidence in military strength and numbers. This act was seen as a failure to acknowledge God's sovereignty, leading to severe consequences for both David and the nation. The incident illustrates the biblical principle that faith should prioritize reliance on God over human resources.

In contrast, when David was confronted by the prophet Nathan about his sin of taking Batsheva and sending her husband Uriah to the front after David had impregnated her, David immediately admits to his mistake and says "I sinned." This is how he overcame his errors and why God established the Davidic dynasty through him.
