David-Monarchy Years Wk12

David’s Numbering                           2 Samuel 24:1 to 25 Part A
o    The Project
o    Again-After the Events of Famine & More Philistine War
o    Anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel-No Exact Reason, But Previously For Violation of the Law
o    He moved David against them-God Incited David
o    1 Chron 21:1 Names Satan As the Mover
o    Both Are True.  God Permitted Satan to Tempt David
o    No Action Can Occur That is Not Subject to God’s Oversight and Divinely Imposed Limitations
o    Go, number Israel and Judah-Military Men, Not General Census
o    Numbering Is Not Wrong, But Indicates Purpose (Ex 30:12; Num 26:2)
o    King said to Joab-Examine the Military Resources of the Kingdom
o    The Protest
o    God add unto the people…an hundredfold-Expresses the Wish That the Troops Would Multiply During David’s Lifetime
o    But why…delight in this thing?-Joab Troubled Over David’s Drifting
o    The Captains of the host-Both Joab & Council of Chief Officers Rejected
o    The Particulars
o    The Territory of the Census
o    Aroer-Central Command Location to Disperse Troops if Necessary
o    The Time of the Census
o    The Numbering Stopped in 9 Months, 20 Days
o    It Appears, From 1 Chron 27:24, That the Census Was Not Completed
o    Though Joab Visited Judah, Benjamin Was Not Counted (1 Chron. 21:6)
o    The Displeasure of God Was Showing Itself Before David Repented (1 Chron 21:7;27:24)
o    The Total of the Census
o    Count Given Was 1,300,000 Men of Military Age
o    The Prayer
o    David’s Heart smote him-Conviction of Sin
o    I have sinned greatly-More Than Adultery  With Bathsheba
o    David’s Sin With Bathsheba Was A Sin of the Flesh (Gal 5:19)
o    The Census Was a Sin of the Spirit (Deut 19:1-13 & Prov. 6:17)
o    Take away the iniquity-Mercy
o    The Punishment
o    The Nature
o    God Allows David the Privilege to Choose
o    Three Years of Famine
o    Three Months of Military Defeat
o    Three Days of Plague or Pestilence
o    There Was a Gap Between the 2 Visits of Gad
o    God Lowered the Famine Period (1 Chron 21:12)
o    The Number
o    Great strait-Deep Distress over the alternatives
o    Let us fall now into the hand of he LORD-Trust God to Do the Right Thing (Gen 18:25)
o    Not fall into the hand of man-Famine & Military Both Have Human Components
o    For his mercies are great-David Knew From Experience About Numerous Mercies
o    From the morning-Beginning That Very Morning
