etc. or, Compass now all, "And Davidª saidª ° to¹ Joabª and to¹ the rulersª of the people,ª Go,² °¹ numberª °¹ Israelª from Beershebaª ¹ even to¹ Dan;ª and bringª °¹ the numberª of them to¹ me, that I may knowª ° [it]." {1Ch 21:2}

from Dan:
"To translateª ° the kingdomª from the houseª ¹ of Saul,ª and to set upª ° the¹ throneª of Davidª over¹ Israelª and over¹ Judah,ª from Danª ¹ even to¹ Beersheba.ª" {2Sm 3:10} + "Therefore¹ I counselª ° that all¹ Israelª be generallyª ° gatheredª ° unto¹ thee, from Danª ¹ even to¹ Beersheba,ª as the sandª that¹ [is] by¹ the seaª for multitude;ª and that thou goª ° to battleª in thine own person.ª" {2Sm 17:11} + "Then all¹ the childrenª of Israelª went out,ª ° and the congregationª was gathered togetherª ° as oneª man,ª from Danª ¹ even to¹ Beersheba,ª with the landª of Gilead,ª unto¹ the LORDª in Mizpeh.ª" {Jdg 20:1}

and number:
We know not in what the sinfulness of this action consisted. Some think it was a contempt of the promise that the Israelites should be innumerable, and that they ought not to have been numbered without an express command, as in the days of Moses. Others suppose with Josephus that it was a kind of sacrilege, in omitting to collect the half-shekel a-piece for the use of the sanctuary. It however would appear that pride and ambition, and a desire of conquest, induced David to this measure, and rendered it so displeasing to God.

"And [when] thy herdsª and thy flocksª multiply,ª ° and thy silverª and thy goldª is multiplied,ª ° and all¹ that¹ thou hast is multiplied;ª ° ... Then thine heartª be lifted up,ª ° and thou forgetª °¹ the LORDª thy God,ª which brought thee forthª ° out of the landª ¹ of Egypt,ª from the houseª ¹ of bondage;ª" {Deu 8:13-14} + "But Hezekiahª rendered not againª °¹ according to the benefitª [done] unto¹ him; for¹ his heartª was lifted up:ª ° therefore there was¹ wrathª upon¹ him, and upon¹ Judahª and Jerusalem.ª ... Notwithstanding Hezekiahª humbled² ° himself¹ for the prideª of his heart,ª [both] he¹ and the inhabitantsª ° of Jerusalem,ª so that the wrathª of the LORDª cameª ° not¹ upon¹ them in the daysª of Hezekiah.ª" {2Ch 32:25-26} + "Howbeitª in [the business of] the ambassadorsª ° of the princesª of Babylon,ª who sentª ° unto¹ him to enquire² ° of¹ the wonderª that¹ was¹ [done] in the land,ª Godª leftª ° him, to tryª ° him, that he might knowª ° all¹ [that was] in his heart.ª" {2Ch 32:31} + "A man'sª prideª shall bring him low:ª ° but honourª shall upholdª ° the humbleª in spirit.ª" {Prv 29:23} + "Thus¹ saithª ° the LORD;ª Cursedª ° [be] the manª that¹ trustethª ° in man,ª and makethª ° fleshª his arm,ª and whose heartª departethª ° from¹ the LORD.ª" {Jer 17:5} + "Andª lestª I should be exalted above measureª ° through the¹ abundanceª of the¹ revelations,ª there was givenª ° to meª a thornª in the¹ flesh,ª the messengerª of Satanª toª buffetª ° me,ª lestª I should be exalted above measure.ª °" {2Co 12:7}
