1 For ver. 1-28, see 2 Sam. 24:1-25Then Zech. 3:1,2;[2 Sam. 24:1]; See Job 1:6-12;2:1-7Satan stood against Israel and incited David to number Israel. 2 So Davidsaid to Joaband the commanders of the army, "Go, number Israel, from Beershebato Dan, and bring me a report, that I may know their number." 3 But Joabsaid, "May the Lordadd to his people a hundred times as many as they are! Are they not, my lord the king, all of them my lord’s servants? Why then should my lord require this? Why should it be a cause of guilt for Israel?" 4 But the king’s word prevailed against Joab. So Joabdeparted and went throughout all Israel and came back to Jerusalem. 5 And Joabgave the sum of the numbering of the people to David. In all Israel there were [2 Sam. 24:9]1,100,000 men who drew the sword, and in Judah [2 Sam. 24:9]470,000 who drew the sword. 6 ch. 27:24But he did not include Levi and Benjamin in the numbering, for the king’s command was abhorrent to Joab.
7 But God was displeased with this thing, and he struck Israel. 8 And Davidsaid to God, "I have sinned greatly in that I have done this thing. But now, please [2 Sam. 12:13]take away the iniquity of your servant, for I have acted very foolishly." 9 And the Lordspoke to Gad, David’s ch. 29:29;See 1 Sam. 9:9seer, saying, 10 "Go and say to David, ‘Thus says the Lord, Three things I offer you; choose one of them, that I may do it to you.’" 11 So Gadcame to Davidand said to him, "Thus says the Lord, ‘Choose what you will: 12 either [2 Sam. 24:13]three years of famine, or three months of devastation by your foes while the sword of your enemies overtakes you, or else three days of the sword of the Lord, pestilence on the land, with the angel of the Lorddestroying throughout all the territory of Israel.’ Now decide what answer I shall return to him who sent me." 13 Then Davidsaid to Gad, "I am in great distress. Let me fall into the hand of the Lord, for his mercy is very great, but do not let me fall into the hand of man."
14 So the Lordsent a pestilence on Israel, and 70,000 men of Israel fell. 15 And God sent the angel to Jerusalemto destroy it, but as he was about to destroy it, the Lordsaw, and he See Gen. 6:6relented from the calamity. And he said to the angel who was working destruction, "It is enough; now stay your hand." And the angel of the Lordwas standing by the threshing floor of Ornanthe Jebusite. 16 And Davidlifted his eyes and saw the angel of the Lordstanding between earth and heaven, and in his hand a drawn sword stretched out over Jerusalem. Then Davidand the elders, 1 Kgs. 20:31;See 2 Sam. 3:31clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces. 17 And Davidsaid to God, "Was it not I who gave command to number the people? It is I who have sinned and done great evil. But these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand, O Lordmy God, be against me and against my father’s house. But do not let the plague be on your people."
David Builds an Altar
18 Now [2 Chr. 3:1]the angel of the Lordhad commanded Gadto say to Davidthat Davidshould go up and raise an altar to the Lordon the threshing floor of Ornanthe Jebusite. 19 So Davidwent up at Gad’s word, which he had spoken in the name of the Lord. 20 Now Ornanwas threshing wheat. He turned and saw the angel, and his four sons who were with him hid themselves. 21 As Davidcame to Ornan, Ornanlooked and saw Davidand went out from the threshing floor and paid homage to Davidwith his face to the ground. 22 And Davidsaid to Ornan, "Give me the site of the threshing floor that I may build on it an altar to the Lord—give it to me at its full price—that the plague may be averted from the people." 23 Then Ornansaid to David, "Take it, and let my lord the king do what seems good to him. See, I give the oxen for burnt offerings and the threshing sledges for the wood and the wheat for a grain offering; I give it all." 24 But King Davidsaid to Ornan, "No, but I will buy them for the full price. I will not take for the Lordwhat is yours, nor offer burnt offerings that cost me nothing." 25 So Davidpaid Ornan[2 Sam. 24:24]600 shekels21:25 A shekel was about 2/5 ounce or 11 gramsof gold by weight for the site. 26 And Davidbuilt there an altar to the Lordand presented burnt offerings and peace offerings and called on the Lord, and the Lord21:26 Hebrew heSee Lev. 9:24answered him with fire from heaven upon the altar of burnt offering. 27 Then the Lordcommanded the angel, and he put his sword back into its sheath.
28 At that time, when Davidsaw that the Lordhad answered him at the threshing floor of Ornanthe Jebusite, he sacrificed there. 29 For the tabernacle of the Lord, which Moseshad made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering ch. 16:39;2 Chr. 1:3;[1 Kgs. 3:4]were at that time in the high place at Gibeon, 30 but Davidcould not go before it to inquire of God, for he was afraid of the sword of the angel of the Lord.
