Dawid jednak nie brał pod uwagę liczby tych, którzy mieli dwadzieścia lat i mniej, gdyż PAN obiecał rozmnożyć Izraela jak gwiazdy na niebie.
Lecz Dawid nie włożył w ich liczbę żadnego, co miał dwadzieścia lat i niżej; bowiem WIEKUISTY powiedział, że rozmnoży Israela jak gwiazdy nieba.

Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
David took not: It seems probable, from this passage, that Joab began, by David's order, to number the children, as well as adults, but was prevented from finishing the account, probably because the plague had begun. The numbering of the effective men might have been deemed a political expedient; but pride and ostentation alone could dictate the numbering of minors and infants, especially as God had pronounced the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, innumerable.
from twenty: Numbers 1:18
he would increase: Genesis 15:5, Hebrews 11:12
Reciprocal: Genesis 13:16 - General Numbers 1:2 - Take ye the sum Deuteronomy 1:10 - your God 2 Samuel 24:1 - number 2 Samuel 24:9 - eight hundred thousand 1 Kings 3:8 - cannot 1 Chronicles 7:2 - whose number 1 Chronicles 21:2 - bring 1 Chronicles 21:5 - a thousand Nehemiah 9:23 - multipliedst Psalms 80:9 - and it
Gill's Notes on the Bible
But David took not the number of them from twenty years old and under,.... Only those that were twenty years and upwards; but, according to Cornelius Bertram k, he numbered them that were under twenty, though but sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, or nineteen years of age, provided they were of robust bodies, and of a tall stature, and able to bear arms; which he takes to be the sin of David, in numbering the people, being contrary to the law of God; yet though he had ordered them to be numbered, and they were, yet he would not take them and put them into the account of his chronicles, as in the next verse, that his sin might not be known, see 2 Samuel 24:9
because the Lord had said, he would increase Israel like to the stars in the heavens; which are not to be numbered, and therefore David sinned in attempting to number the people.
k Lucubrat. Franktall, c. 2.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
David’s numbering of the people was therefore a military arrangement in order to fix the amount of his standing army. To the general Oriental prejudice against numbering possessions, etc., there was added in the case of the Jews a special objection - a feeling that it would be irreverent to attempt to count what God had promised should be countless.
