The document appears to be the transcript of a church sermon. It discusses the biblical story of King David ordering a census of Israel, which displeases God and results in a plague. The sermon examines possible motivations for David's census and notes that even the experienced Joab questioned it. David humbly repents and offers sacrifices to atone. The location of the sacrifices, the threshing floor of Araunah, is seen as significant as it becomes the location for the future temple.
