Exegesis
The contrast with the nation appears in veeleh hatson {וְאֵלֶּה הַצֹּאן | wəʾēllēh haṣṣōʾn} ‘and these, the flock’, a shepherd/sheep metaphor.
In context — 1 Chronicles 21:17
And David said to God , “Was it not I who commanded the numbering of the people? Indeed, I am the one who has sinned and acted wickedly. And these, the flock—what have they done? LORD my God , let Your hand be upon me and upon my father’s house, but not upon Your people for a plague.”
