Verse 7 is found in chapter 21 of 1 Chronicles. David orders a census of Israel and later acknowledges his sin. The episode focuses on the spiritual consequences of trusting in a measurement of national power rather than depending on God. The plague demonstrates the communal dimension of the king’s sin, while David finally confesses and asks that the punishment fall on him rather than the people.

Aber solches gefiel Gott übel, und er schlug Israel.
Asimismo desagradó este negocio a los ojos de Dios, e hirió a Israel.
Esto desagradó a Dios, y Dios castigó a Israel.
Cet ordre déplut à Dieu, qui frappa Israël.
Or questa cosa dispiacque a Dio; laonde egli percosse Israele.
E este negócio também pareceu mau aos olhos de Deus; por isso feriu a Israel.
這件事在上帝眼中看為惡,上帝就降災給 以色列 。
