2 Samuel 24:10
"And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto the Lord, I have sinned greatly in that I have done:and now, I beseech thee, O Lord, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly."
"And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto the Lord, I have sinned greatly in that I have done:and now, I beseech thee, O Lord, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly."
This was after David ordered his men to randomly number the people in his kingdom. No one knows for sure what the sin was in numbering the people.
Some believe that he did it illegally.
Most people believe that it was his pride that was the great sin; He wanted to know how great he was by the number of those under his rule.
Nonetheless, there is something we can learn from David: Once he was convicted of his sin, he confessed it to God and repented.
How often do we ignore the convictions of our sins just so that we can claim ignorance when questioned about them?
