From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Numbering of the people       Besides the numbering of the tribes mentioned in the history of       the wanderings in the wilderness, we have an account of a       general census of the whole nation from Dan to Beersheba, which       David gave directions to Joab to make (1 Chr. 21:1). Joab very       reluctantly began to carry out the king's command.                This act of David in ordering a numbering of the people arose       from pride and a self-glorifying spirit. It indicated a reliance       on his part on an arm of flesh, an estimating of his power not       by the divine favour but by the material resources of his       kingdom. He thought of military achievement and of conquest, and       forgot that he was God's vicegerent. In all this he sinned       against God. While Joab was engaged in the census, David's heart       smote him, and he became deeply conscious of his fault; and in       profound humiliation he confessed, "I have sinned greatly in       what I have done." The prophet Gad was sent to him to put before       him three dreadful alternatives (2 Sam. 24:13; for "seven years"       in this verse, the LXX. and 1 Chr. 21:12 have "three years"),       three of Jehovah's four sore judgments (Ezek. 14:21). Two of       these David had already experienced. He had fled for some months       before Absalom, and had suffered three years' famine on account       of the slaughter of the Gibeonites. In his "strait" David said,       "Let me fall into the hands of the Lord." A pestilence broke out       among the people, and in three days swept away 70,000. At       David's intercession the plague was stayed, and at the       threshing-floor of Araunah (q.v.), where the destroying angel       was arrested in his progress, David erected an altar, and there       offered up sacrifies to God (2 Chr. 3:1).                The census, so far as completed, showed that there were at       least 1,300,000 fighting men in the kingdom, indicating at that       time a population of about six or seven millions in all. (See {CENSUS}.)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Numbers, Book of       the fourth of the books of the Pentateuch, called in the Hebrew       be-midbar, i.e., "in the wilderness." In the LXX. version it is       called "Numbers," and this name is now the usual title of the       book. It is so called because it contains a record of the       numbering of the people in the wilderness of Sinai (1-4), and of       their numbering afterwards on the plain of Moab (26).                This book is of special historical interest as furnishing us       with details as to the route of the Israelites in the wilderness       and their principal encampments. It may be divided into three       parts:                1. The numbering of the people at Sinai, and preparations for       their resuming their march (1-10:10). The sixth chapter gives an       account of the vow of a Nazarite.                2. An account of the journey from Sinai to Moab, the sending       out of the spies and the report they brought back, and the       murmurings (eight times) of the people at the hardships by the       way (10:11-21:20).                3. The transactions in the plain of Moab before crossing the       Jordan (21:21-ch. 36).                The period comprehended in the history extends from the second       month of the second year after the Exodus to the beginning of       the eleventh month of the fortieth year, in all about       thirty-eight years and ten months; a dreary period of       wanderings, during which that disobedient generation all died in       the wilderness. They were fewer in number at the end of their       wanderings than when they left the land of Egypt. We see in this       history, on the one hand, the unceasing care of the Almighty       over his chosen people during their wanderings; and, on the       other hand, the murmurings and rebellions by which they offended       their heavenly Protector, drew down repeated marks of his       displeasure, and provoked him to say that they should "not enter       into his rest" because of their unbelief (Heb. 3:19).                This, like the other books of the Pentateuch, bears evidence       of having been written by Moses.                The expression "the book of the wars of the Lord," occurring       in 21:14, has given rise to much discussion. But, after all,       "what this book was is uncertain, whether some writing of Israel       not now extant, or some writing of the Amorites which contained       songs and triumphs of their king Sihon's victories, out of which       Moses may cite this testimony, as Paul sometimes does out of       heathen poets (Acts 17:28; Titus 1:12)."
