TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

21:1–22:1 This account of the census closely parallels 2 Sam 24:1-25 but has an entirely different focus. The Chronicler’s account provides the context for the dedication of the altar and the preparations for building the Temple (1 Chr 22).

21:1 Satan (or the adversary) motivated David to take a census of his military forces (cp. 2 Sam 24:1). The Chronicler seems to interpret the narrative of Samuel in light of his theology of Satan as the adversary of God and humanity. As God allows Satan to work in the world, Satan unwittingly fulfills God’s purposes (cp. 2 Chr 18:3-34; Job 1:6–2:7; Zech 3:1-2; Matt 4:1-11; John 13:27; 1 Cor 5:5; 2 Cor 12:7; 1 Tim 1:20; Rev 20:3, 7-9).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

(Occurrence 0) An adversary arose against Israel

(Some words not found in UHB: and,rose_up satan on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Yisrael and,incited DOM Dāvid to,count DOM Yisrael )

Possible meanings of adversary are: (1) this refers to Satan who decided to cause trouble for Israel or (2) this refers to an enemy army that began to threaten Israel.

(Occurrence 0) incited David to count Israel

(Some words not found in UHB: and,rose_up satan on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Yisrael and,incited DOM Dāvid to,count DOM Yisrael )

“caused David to do wrong, to count Israel.” If your language has a word for getting someone to become angry and do something he knows is wrong, you should use it here.
