Kommentar zu Divrej Hajamim I 27:23
וְלֹא־נָשָׂ֤א דָוִיד֙ מִסְפָּרָ֔ם לְמִבֶּ֛ן עֶשְׂרִ֥ים שָׁנָ֖ה וּלְמָ֑טָּה כִּ֚י אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה לְהַרְבּ֥וֹת אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל כְּכוֹכְבֵ֥י הַשָּׁמָֽיִם׃
Aber David nahm nicht die Anzahl von ihnen von zwanzig Jahren und jünger; weil der Herr gesagt hatte, er würde Israel wie zu den Sternen des Himmels vermehren.
Rashi on I Chronicles
Now David did not take their count from twenty years old and below The meaning is: We already stated that he counted Israel and divided them into divisions, and he also counted the Levites and appointed them upon their service; and all these that he counted he did not count any of them less than twenty years old.

like the stars of the heavens Just as man cannot count the stars of the heavens, so he cannot count them.
