2 Sam.24:1 records: "The Lord...moved David against Israel" in order to make him take a census of Israel. The parallel account in 1 Chron.21:1 says that "Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David" to take the census. In one passage God does the provoking, in the other Satan does it.
2 Sam. 24: 1 pameandikwa:"Tena …. Bwana akamtia nia Daudi juu yao - Israeli" ili afanye sensa ya Israeli. Maelezo yaliyo sambamba katika 1 M / Nyakati 21: 1 unasema kwamba"Tena shetani akasimama juu ya Israeli, akamshawishi Daudi kuwahesabu Israeli" Katika fungu moja la maneno Mungu anashawishi, lingine shetani anafanya hivyo.
