Why was G-d angry with the Jews in the end of Dovid's reign? Why did Dovid count the Jews? Did he forget that it is prohibited to count the Jews? Why did the Jews cooperate with him? Why did Dovid pick a plague as his punishment? Is it easier to avert punishment when the punishment comes directly from G-d? Why was the place that the Beis Ha-Mikdash should be built revealed specifically through a plague?
