דברי הימים א, פרק כ״ג, פסוק ב׳

A significant gathering of the national leadership takes place to conduct a new census. Unlike other times when the entire population of Israel was numbered, this specific event has a much narrower focus.

The primary approach among commentators is that this assembly is strictly limited to the officers of Israel, the priests, and the Levites. These key figures are brought together for the distinct purpose of being counted. Because this targeted census of the leadership tier and the holy servants is entirely necessary, it is carried out without drawing any negative judgment or condemnation.
