Barnes' Notes on the Bible
As the books of Scripture are arranged in our Version, Satan is here for the first time by name introduced to us. He appears not merely as an “adversary” who seeks to injure man from without, but as a Tempter able to ruin him by suggesting sinful acts and thoughts from within. In this point of view, the revelation made of him here is the most advanced that we find in the Old Testament.
The difficulty in reconciling the statement here, “Satan provoked David,” etc. with that of Samuel, “the Lord moved David,” etc. 2 Samuel 24:1 is not serious. All temptation is permitted by God. When evil spirits tempt us, they do so by permission (Job 1:12; Job 2:6; Luke 22:31, etc.). If Satan therefore provoked David to number the peopIe, God allowed him. And what God allows, He may be said to do. (Another view is maintained in the 2 Samuel 24:1 note).
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XXI
David is tempted by Satan to take the numbers of the people of
Israel and Judah, 1, 2.
Joab remonstrates, but the king is determined, and Joab pleads
in vain, 3, 4.
He returns, and delivers in the number to the king, but reckons
not Levi and Benjamin, 5.
The Lord is displeased, and sends Gad to offer David his choice
of three great national calamities; famine, war, or pestilence,
6-12.
David submits himself to God, and a pestilence is sent, which
destroys seventy thousand, 13, 14.
At David's intercession the destroying angel is restrained at
the threshing-floor of Ornan, 15-17.
He buys the piece of ground, builds an altar to the Lord and
offers sacrifices, and the plague is stayed, 18-30.
