Also, 2 Samuel 24:1 is David speaking and not God.
"And again the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, "Go, number Israel and Judah."" (2 Samuel 24:1).
David said, "Go, number Israel and Judah."
This is not God saying this.
Also, how did God move David to say to the others to have a census?
Did God push David by doing a miracle in order to take a census? No.
We get the details of what happened by looking at 1 Chronicles 21:5.
God used the devil to move David to take a census.
Granted, God was not forcing David to take a census here.
The choice was still ultimately up to David.
When David was being moved, or incited, or enticed, it is talking about how David was being tempted by the devil.
So again, there is no contradiction (Unless the reader wants to see one).
My suggestion:
Believe God's Word is perfect and without error. Do not try to correct God's Word but let God's Word correct you.
