Then David said to God,
David's direct address to God highlights the personal relationship he maintained with the Lord, despite his failings. This moment of confession is reminiscent of other biblical figures who spoke directly to God, such as Moses and Abraham. It underscores the importance of direct communication with God in times of sin and repentance.

“I have sinned greatly because I have done this thing.
David acknowledges the gravity of his sin, which in this context refers to his decision to conduct a census of Israel. This act was seen as a lack of trust in God's ability to sustain and protect Israel without reliance on military strength. The admission of sin is a crucial step in the process of repentance, as seen in other biblical narratives likePsalm 51, where David also confesses his sin with Bathsheba.

Now I beg You to take away the iniquity of Your servant,
David's plea for forgiveness reflects the biblical principle that only God can remove sin. The term "iniquity" denotes a deep moral failing, and David's use of "Your servant" shows his humility and recognition of his position before God. This request for divine mercy is echoed in the New Testament, where believers are encouraged to seek forgiveness through Christ (1John 1:9).

for I have acted very foolishly.”
David's admission of foolishness is an acknowledgment of his lack of wisdom and discernment. In biblical terms, foolishness often contrasts with the wisdom that comes from fearing the Lord (Proverbs 9:10). This phrase connects to the broader biblical theme of human fallibility and the need for divine guidance, as seen in the lives of other leaders like Solomon, who asked God for wisdom to lead his people.

What Does 1 Chronicles 21:8 Mean
Then David said to God

• David turns directly to the Lord, not to advisers or prophets. In doing so, he mirrors earlier patterns of seeking God first (1 Chronicles 14:10;Psalm 18:6).

• The setting follows his census of Israel, an act of pride and self-reliance (2 Samuel 24:1–10). David’s immediate address underscores that genuine restoration always begins with conversation with God (Psalm 32:5).

I have sinned greatly

• Unlike soft or partial confessions, David labels his failure “great.” Comparable admissions appear inPsalm 51:3–4, where he says, “For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.”

• Scripture consistently teaches that minimizing sin hinders forgiveness (Proverbs 28:13;1 John 1:8–9). David’s candid wording shows awareness of sin’s seriousness before a holy God.

because I have done this thing

• He names the act: ordering the census. By identifying the specific wrongdoing, David avoids vague repentance. InLeviticus 5:5 Israelites were instructed to “confess the sin they have committed.”

• Ownership silences excuses. He does not blame Joab, circumstances, or Satan’s temptation (1 Chronicles 21:1). Personal responsibility is essential for restored fellowship (James 1:14–15).

Now I beg You to take away the iniquity of Your servant

• David pleads for cleansing, echoing “Blot out all my iniquities” (Psalm 51:9) and anticipating God’s promise inIsaiah 1:18 that scarlet sins can become white as snow.

• He calls himself “Your servant,” submitting to God’s authority. Even as king, he understands his subordinate place (Psalm 19:11;Luke 17:10).

• The request points forward to the ultimate removal of sin accomplished in Christ (Hebrews 10:10–14), showing that Old Testament faith relied on God’s mercy, not human merit.

for I have acted very foolishly

• David contrasts wisdom with folly. True wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord (Proverbs 9:10), and sin is the abandonment of that fear.

• By labeling his choice “very foolish,” he highlights that self-reliance is spiritual stupidity. Similar language is used of Saul in1 Samuel 13:13, warning that even God’s anointed are accountable.

• Confession reaches depth when we see sin not only as wrong but as foolish, destructive, and senseless (Jeremiah 4:22;Titus 3:3).

summary

1 Chronicles 21:8 records David’s wholehearted confession after a pride-driven census. He speaks directly to God, fully owns his “great” sin, names the specific act, pleads for forgiveness, and acknowledges his folly. The verse models honest repentance that trusts God’s willingness to remove iniquity, reminding believers that humble, thorough confession restores fellowship and displays the goodness of our forgiving Lord.

(8)And David said.--This verse is verbatim the same with its parallel, save that it makes the characteristic substitution of "God" for "Jehovah," and adds the explanatory phrase "this thing" in the first half, and in the second omits the Divine Name altogether.

Do away.--Cause to pass over, and soaway. David's conscience misgave him in the night, before his interview with Gad. (See2Samuel 24:10-11.)
