1Ch 21:1,7,8 And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel ... And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel. And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing: but now, I beseech thee, do away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
In 2 Samuel 24 it says that David's heart smote (conscience bothered) him after he numbered the people.
Anybody know why it was such a great sin for David to number Israel?
