God or Devil ?

I need help with this one…While the author of Samuel 24, makes God the boss of the situation, the author of Chronicles gives credit to the Devil.

II SAMUEL 24

The Numbering

AND again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.

I CHRONICLES 21

The Numbering

AND SATAN stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.

Where did David get his “inspiration” to number Israel?

Answer #1

from himself; he was chomping at the bit to do a census. he knew he was King over a growing territory and wanted to feed his ego. wanted to know how many subjects could pay tribute.
