1Ch 27:24 | MHM | STEP | v. 24 : The census was incomplete and never officially recorded because it displeased God. Joab, who was tasked with carrying it out, was unhappy with the order and only did part of the work. David later regretted his decision, as it brought God’s wrath upon Israel. This shows that a good person cannot feel joy or pride in something they know has displeased God.
