23–24 Here the writer mentions the census David took, in which he numbered the fighting men over twenty years of age (see 2 Samuel 24:1–17; 1 Chronicles 21:1–17 and comment). The Lord was displeased with David because the taking of the census indicated a lack of faith on David’s part; after all, the Lord had promised to make Israel as numerous as the stars (see Genesis 15:5; 22:17). The Lord had already undertaken to protect Israel, and so there had been no need for David to number men.

25–34 Here the writer outlines the third aspect of Israel’s civil organization: the royal administration. These verses list his the overseers in charge of David’s various projects.
