1 For ver. 1-25, see 1 Chr. 21:1-28[1 Chr. 21:1] Again the anger of the Lordwas kindled against Israel, and he incited Davidagainst them, saying, [1 Chr. 27:23,24]"Go, number Israel and Judah." 2 So the king said to Joab, the commander of the army,24:2 Septuagint to Joab and the commanders of the armywho was with him, "Go through all the tribes of Israel, ver. 15;See ch. 3:10from Danto Beersheba, and number the people, that I may know the number of the people." 3 But Joabsaid to the king, Deut. 1:11"May the Lordyour God add to the people a hundred times as many as they are, while the eyes of my lord the king still see it, but why does my lord the king delight in this thing?" 4 But the king’s word prevailed against Joaband the commanders of the army. So Joaband the commanders of the army went out from the presence of the king to number the people of Israel. 5 They crossed the Jordanand began from Deut. 2:36;Josh. 13:9,16Aroer,24:5 Septuagint; Hebrew encamped in Aroerand from the city that is in the middle of the [Num. 13:23] valley, toward Gad and on to Num. 21:32;32:1,3Jazer. 6 Then they came to Gilead, and to Kadeshin the land of the Hittites;24:6 Septuagint; Hebrew to the land of Tahtim-hodshiand they came to Dan, and from Dan24:6 Septuagint; Hebrew they came to Dan-jaan andthey went around to Josh. 19:28;Judg. 18:28Sidon, 7 and came to the fortress of Tyreand to all the cities of the Josh. 11:3;Judg. 3:3Hivites and Josh. 11:3;Judg. 3:3Canaanites; and they went out to the Negebof Judah at Beersheba. 8 So when they had gone through all the land, they came to Jerusalemat the end of nine months and twenty days. 9 And Joabgave the sum of the numbering of the people to the king: in Israel there were 800,000 valiant men Judg. 8:10who drew the sword, and the men of Judah were 500,000.
The Lord’s Judgment of David’s Sin
10 But 1 Sam. 24:5David’s heart struck him after he had numbered the people. And Davidsaid to the Lord, ch. 12:13"I have sinned greatly in what I have done. But now, O Lord, please take away the iniquity of your servant, for I have done See 1 Sam. 13:13very foolishly." 11 And when Davidarose in the morning, the word of the Lordcame to See 1 Sam. 22:5the prophet Gad, David’s See 1 Sam. 9:9seer, saying, 12 "Go and say to David, ‘Thus says the Lord, Three things I offer24:12 Or hold overyou. Choose one of them, that I may do it to you.’" 13 So Gadcame to Davidand told him, and said to him, "Shall [1 Chr. 21:12]three24:13 Compare 1 Chronicles 21:12, Septuagint; Hebrew sevenyears of famine come to you in your land? Or will you flee three months before your foes while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days’ pestilence in your land? Now consider, and decide what answer I shall return to him who sent me." 14 Then Davidsaid to Gad, "I am in great distress. Let us fall into the hand of the Lord, Ps. 119:156for his mercy is great; but let me not fall into the hand of man."
15 1 Chr. 27:24So the Lordsent a pestilence on Israel from the morning until the appointed time. And there died of the people from ver. 2Danto Beersheba70,000 men. 16 And when 2 Kgs. 19:35;2 Chr. 32:21;Isa. 37:36;Acts 12:23the angel stretched out his hand toward JerusalemEx. 12:13,23to destroy it, Gen. 6:6;1 Sam. 15:11;Joel 2:13,14;Jonah 3:10the Lordrelented from the calamity and said to the angel Ex. 12:13,23who was working destruction among the people, "It is enough; now stay your hand." And 2 Kgs. 19:35;2 Chr. 32:21;Isa. 37:36;Acts 12:23the angel of the Lordwas by the threshing floor of [2 Chr. 3:1]Araunahthe Jebusite. 17 Then Davidspoke to the Lordwhen he saw the angel who was striking the people, and said, "Behold, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly. But these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand be against me and against my father’s house."
David Builds an Altar
18 And Gadcame that day to Davidand said to him, "Go up, raise an altar to the Lordon the threshing floor of [2 Chr. 3:1]Araunahthe Jebusite." 19 So Davidwent up at Gad’s word, as the Lordcommanded. 20 And when Araunahlooked down, he saw the king and his servants coming on toward him. And Araunahwent out and paid homage to the king with his face to the ground. 21 And Araunahsaid, "Why has my lord the king come to his servant?" Davidsaid, "To buy the threshing floor from you, in order to build an altar to the Lord, that the plague Num. 16:48,50may be averted from the people." 22 Then Araunahsaid to David, "Let my lord the king take and offer up what seems good to him. Here are the oxen for the burnt offering and the 1 Kgs. 19:21threshing sledges and the yokes of the oxen for the wood. 23 All this, O king, Araunahgives to the king." And Araunahsaid to the king, "May the Lordyour God Deut. 33:11;[Ps. 20:3]accept you." 24 But the king said to Araunah, "No, but I will buy it from you for a price. I will not offer burnt offerings to the Lordmy God that cost me nothing." So Davidbought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels24:24 A shekel was about 2/5 ounce or 11 gramsof silver. 25 And Davidbuilt there an altar to the Lordand offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. ch. 21:14So the Lordresponded to the plea for the land, and the plague was averted from Israel.
