The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 24:9-19

( 1 Chronicles 21:9-13 , 1 Chronicles 21:18 , 1 Chronicles 21:19 ). The Prophet Gad. "And when David was up in the morning," etc. Gad had formerly given valuable direction to David ( 1 Samuel 22:5 ); and he must have been now far advanced in life. He was "David's seer," or spiritual counsellor; a true prophet of God ( 1 Samuel 2:27 ; 1 Samuel 3:19 ; 2 Samuel 7:3 ); assisted in the arrangements for the temple service ( 1 Chronicles 9:22 ), and (like Samuel and Nathan)... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 24:17-19

( 1 Chronicles 21:16-19 ).—( ZION .) Self-devotion. "These sheep, what have they done?" etc. ( 2 Samuel 24:17 ). As through one man many suffer, so through one man many are delivered from suffering and greatly benefited. This is especially the case when, like David, he is their head and representative, the shepherd of the flock of God ( 2 Samuel 24:17 ; 2 Samuel 5:2 ). His numbering the people in a spirit of self-exaltation was the occasion (not the cause, 2 Samuel 24:1 ) of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 24:18

Go up. David probably, on receiving God's message, had gone to the tent which he had pitched for the ark in Zion ( 2 Samuel 6:17 ), in order that he might pray there; and while on his way he saw the dark plague cloud coming as the messenger of God's wrath to smite Jerusalem. In an agony of grief, he poured out his prayer that Jerusalem might be spared, and God heard him, and sent Gad a second time to bid him offer sacrifice, that, by making an atonement, he might stand between the dead and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 24:18-25

The facts are: 1 . The Seer Gad having directed David to rear an altar to the Lord in the threshing floor of Araunah, he proceeds to carry out the instruction. 2 . Araunah, observing the approach of David and his servants, makes obeisance, and desires to know the purport of his visit. 3 . Ascertaining that David desired to buy the threshing floor that he might there entreat for the staying of the plague, he generously offers all that was requisite for the sacrifices, and expresses... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 24:20

Araunah … saw the king. In 1 Chronicles 21:20 , "saw the angel;" but the text there is apparently corrupt, the difference, moreover, in Hebrew between "king" and "angel" being very slight. The addition there of the story of Araunah's four sons hiding themselves is very lifelike and natural. For these remnants of the aborigines, though tolerated, yet held a very insecure position, as we have seen in the dealings of Saul with the Gibeonites; and the coming of the king with his retinue to the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 24:20-23

( 1 Chronicles 21:18-23 ).—( MORIAH .) Araunah the Jebusite. Araunah (Aravnah, Avarnah, Aranyah, Ornan) was: 1 . A Gentile by birth; almost the last relic of the Canaanitish tribe whose fortress was taken nearly thirty years before ( 2 Samuel 5:6 ). "He was not slain by David in the siege of Jerusalem, because of the good will he bore to the Hebrews, and a particular benignity and affection which he had to the king himself" (Josephus); with whom, during his exile, he may have... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 24:22

Behold , here be oxen . Araunah was threshing out his wheat by dragging sledges or frames of wood without wheels over it. All these he at once gives to David, that the sacrifice may be offered without delay, as it would have cost much time and labour to bring wood up from the city. Instead of and other instruments of the oxen, the Hebrew has "the harness or furniture of the oxen," all of which was of wood. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 24:23

All these did Araunah, as a king, give unto the king. The Hebrew is, "The whole gave Araunah the king to the king;" and so the Vulgate, dedit Areuna rex regi. The rendering of the Revised Version (and Keil), "All this, O king, doth Araunah give unto the king," requires a change both of the order and of the tense. It is, of course, possible (though highly is probable) that Araunah was the representative of the kings of Jebus, and a titular monarch, like the Maori king in New Zealand. But... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 24:23

Acceptance with God. "The Lord thy God accept thee." A good wish, flowing from good will, and all the heartier because of the occasion. For Divine acceptance of the king and his offerings meant deliverance for the nation, Araunah included, from the ravages of the pestilence. The sincerity of his wish was proved by the substantial offers with which it was accompanied. I. THE BLESSING DESIRED . Araunah referred to the favourable reception by God of David's offerings. In the widest... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Samuel 24:20

And his servants - In Chronicles “his four sons,” namely, David’s. It is very possible that David may have taken his sons with him, as well as his elders, and Gad’s original narrative may have mentioned the circumstance, which the compiler of this chapter did not care to specify, and so used the general term “his servants.” read more
