Old Testament/Stories of David (II Samuel 24:14 ff)

 . . . And David said unto Gad, I am in a great distress: let us fall now into the hand of the LORD; for his mercies are great: and let me not fall into the hand of man. So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time appointed: and there died of the people from Dan even to Beersheba ___________ thousand men. . . .

How many people died because of David’s sin of counting the people? Why was it a sin for David to count the people?
