It's a great mystery why David counted all the people of Israel. It seems that they had just won a great battle before David's counting of all his soldiers, which were a large number. David's pride came in to play here as he depended on his soldier's might rather than God's. Pride destroys people all the time. having a big head sometimes backfires on you as it did David here. Good example are pro athlete's, they are on top of the world one day and the next on the bottom.
