We trace David’s misstep in counting Israel’s fighting men, the mercy that met his repentance, and how a place of judgment became the site for God’s house. We draw a straight line from ancient numbers to modern security and end with a charge to build with courage.

• why David’s census undercut trust in God
• Joab’s warning and the weight of leadership
• choosing mercy over fear in judgment options
• the threshing floor becomes an altar and a future temple site
• why costly sacrifice matters for real worship
• David’s preparation for Solomon’s temple work
• courage, wisdom, and obedience as true measures of success
• trading metrics for mission in everyday life
