Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Chronicles 2:17

17 And Solomon numbred all the strangers that were in the land of Israel, after the numbring, wherewith David his father had numbred them ; and they were found an hundred and fifty thousand, and three thousand and six hundred.

For David had not onely numbred his own People, for which he smarted, 2 Sam. 24. but afterward he numbred the Strangers, not out of Vanity, but that Solomon might have a true Account of them, and employ them about his Buildings, as he saw fit. Yet Solomon thought fit to number them again, because Death might have made a considerable Alteration among them since Davids numbring of them; and it behoved him to have an exact Account of them.
