      1  David, tempted by Satan, forces Joab to number the people.
     5  The captains, in nine months and twenty days, bring the
        muster of thirteen hundred thousand fighting men.
    10  David repents, and having three plagues propounded by God,
        chooses the three days' pestilence.
    15  After the death of three score and ten thousand, David by
        prayer prevents the destruction of Jerusalem.
    18  David, by God's direction, purchases Araunah's threshing
        floor; where having sacrificed, the plague stays.
    
    
    VERSE 1
    - A.M. 2987.  B.C. 1017.  An. Ex. Is. 474.  again.
       * 2Sa 21:1-14
    - he.
      This verse, when read without reference to any other part of
      the word of God, is very difficult to understand, and has been
      used by those who desire to undermine the justice of God, to
      shew that he sought occasion to punish--that he incited David
      to sin; and when he had so incited him, gave to him the
      dreadful alternative of choosing one of three scourges by
      which his people were to be cut off.  On the face of the
      passage these thoughts naturally arise, because "the Lord" is
      the antecedent to the pronoun "he,"--He moved David.  But to
      those who "search the Scriptures," this exceedingly difficult
      passage receives a wonderful elucidation,  By referring to 1
      Ch 1 21:1, the reader will there find that Satan was the mover,
      and that the Lord most righteously punished David for the
      display of pride he had manifested.  Oh! that Christians, who
      sometimes have their minds harassed with doubts, would
      remember the promise, that what they know not now they shall
      know hereafter; and if no other instance of elucidation than
      this passage occurred to them to remove their doubts, let this
      be a means of stirring them up to dig deeper than ever into
      the inexhaustible mines of the Inspired Word.

       * 1Ch 21:2
    - from Dan.
       * 2Sa 3:10; 17:11 Jud 20:1
    - and number.
      We know not in what the sinfulness of this action consisted.
      Some think it was a contempt of the promise that the
      Israelites should be innumerable, and that they ought not to
      have been numbered without an express command, as in the days
      of Moses.  Others suppose with Josephus that it was a kind of
      sacrilege, in omitting to collect the half-shekel a-piece for
      the use of the sanctuary.  It however would appear that pride
      and ambition, and a desire of conquest, induced David to this
      measure, and rendered it so displeasing to God.
