And again the anger of Jehovah glowed against Israel, and moved David against them, to say, Go, number Israel and Judah. - (2 Samuel 24:1, Green's Literal)
And Satan stood up against Israel and moved David to number Israel. - (1 Chronicles 21:1, Green's Literal)
Many critics of the Bible often cite these two scriptures as being one of the alleged contradictions found in the Bible. In one scripture it says that Jehovah moved David to number the people of Israel and Judah; in the other scripture, we find that Satan moved David to number Israel.

These two chapters are often pointed out by skeptics to show how the Bible apparently contradicts itself. The authors of Samuel and Chronicles recorded the same event, but gave different descriptions in their accounts.
