1 Chronicles21:1
1Ch 21:1 “And Satan stood up against Israel, and incited David to number Israel.” The mention of Satan as the seducer of David is not to be explained merely by the fact that the Israelites in later times traced up everything contrary to God’s will to this evil spirit, but in the present case arises from the author’s design to characterize David’s purpose from the very beginning as an ungodly thing.
