1 Cronache 27:23 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 27:23

But David took not the number of them from twenty years old
and under
Only those that were twenty years and upwards; but, according to Cornelius Bertram F11, he numbered them that were under twenty, though but sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, or nineteen years of age, provided they were of robust bodies, and of a tall stature, and able to bear arms; which he takes to be the sin of David, in numbering the people, being contrary to the law of God; yet though he had ordered them to be numbered, and they were, yet he would not take them and put them into the account of his chronicles, as in the next verse, that his sin might not be known, see ( 2 Samuel 24:9 )

because the Lord had said, he would increase Israel like to the stars
in the heavens;
which are not to be numbered, and therefore David sinned in attempting to number the people.

21 Iddo, figliuolo di Zaccaria, dell’altra mezza tribù di Manasse, in Galaad; Iaaziel, figliuolo di Abner, dei Beniaminiti;
22 Azareel, figliuolo di Ieroham, de’ Daniti. Questi furono i capi principali delle tribù d’Israele.
23 E Davide non levò il numero di essi dall’età di vent’anni in giù; perciocchè il Signore avea detto d’accrescere Israele come le stelle del cielo.
24 Ioab, figliuolo di Seruia, avea ben cominciato ad annoverare così il popolo, ma non finì; e per questo vi fu indegnazione contro ad Israele; laonde quella descrizione non fu messa fra le descrizioni poste ne’ registri del re Davide.
25 ED Azmavet, figliuolo di Adiel, era sopra i tesori del re; e Gionatan, figliuolo di Uzzia, era sopra i tesori della campagna, nelle cittĂ , nelle villate, e nelle castella;
