Equality

In 1 Chronicles there are lots of lists of families. Lots of honourable families. I found this verse interesting at the end of 1 Chronicles 24

The families of the oldest brother were treated the same as those of the youngest.

This is referring to the casting of lots. That each family had equal opportunity to be pulled for any lot. And whatever lot you got, that was it. It was all equal. You got your shot, now sit in your lot. (though I think the lots were for jobs)

There is another comment about the census in chapter 27:

23 David did not take the number of the men twenty years old or less, because the LORD had promised to make Israel as numerous as the stars in the sky. 24 Joab son of Zeruiah began to count the men but did not finish. Wrath came on Israel on account of this numbering, and the number was not entered in the book of the annals of King David.

So Joab put all that work into the census and they all got punished for it and the work was all in vain, because it wasn't what God wanted them to be doing.
