Dear Karl,

Did any other king make a census of Israel? All I remember
is that they numbered only those who turned out for battle,
not the whole people.

HH: The text does not say. The numbers are smaller elsewhere than for David's numbering, so you may be right. David was doing a military numbering of all the fighting men available.

Yours,
Harold Holmyard
