halacha - Why was King David Punished for Sending Others to Conduct a Census?



If there is no agency for sin, why was King David punished for sending people out to conduct a (forbidden) census? (Explanation of agency: The Talmud says "ein sheliach l'dvar averia," which means, practically speaking, that if you tell someone to eat non-kosher food, the sin is on the person who eats the food, not on you.)
