SEV Biblia, Chapter 27:24

Joab hijo de Sarvia había comenzado a contar, mas no acabó, y por esto vino la ira sobre Israel; y así el número no fue puesto en el registro de las crónicas del rey David.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 27:24

Verse 24. Neither was the number put in the account] Joab did not return the whole number; probably the plague began before he had finished: or, he did not choose to give it in, as he had entered on this work with extreme reluctance; and he did not choose to tell the king how numerous they were.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 24. Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number , etc.] By the order of David, but entirely against his own will, (see 1 Chronicles 21:2-4,6), but he finished not ; the two tribes of Benjamin and Levi not being counted by him, ( 1 Chronicles 21:6) because there fell wrath for it against Israel ; the plague being broke forth before he had done numbering, which put a stop to it, ( 1 Chronicles 21:14) neither was the number put in the account of the chronicles of David ; that which was brought in by Joab, though imperfect, was not entered into the diary, journal, or annals which David ordered to be written of all memorable events and transactions in his reign; and which were afterwards carried on by the kings of Judah, often referred to in the preceding books; and this was done, not because of the imperfection of the account, but because David did not choose this sin of his should be transmitted to posterity, though it has been, notwithstanding this precaution of his.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 16-34 - The officers of the court, or the rulers of the king's substance, ha the oversight and charge of the king's tillage, his vineyards, his herds, his flocks, which formed the wealth of eastern kings. Much of the wisdom of princes is seen in the choice of their ministry, an common persons show it in the choice of their advisers. David, thoug he had all these about him, preferred the word of God before them all Thy testimonies are my delight and my counsellors __________________________________________________________________
