  [tria <\\S#5140g\\> etos <\\S#2094\\>,] three years, as here;
  which is, no doubt, the true reading; the letter [Zayin,]
  {zayin,} seven, being mistaken for [Giymel,] {gimmel,} three.

  David here acted nobly: had he chosen war, his personal safety
  was in no danger, as there was an ordinance preventing him
  from going to battle; and in famine, his wealth would have
  secured his and his family's support; but all were equally
  exposed to the pestilence.

  It is a maxim from heaven, "Honor the Lord with thy
  substance."  He who has a religion that costs him nothing, has
  a religion that is worth nothing; nor will any man esteem the
  ordinances of God, if those ordinances cost him nothing.  Had
  Araunah's noble offer been accepted, it would have been
  Araunah's sacrifice, not David's; nor would it have answered
  the end of turning away the displeasure of the Most High.  It
  was David that sinned, not Araunah; therefore David must offer
  sacrifice.
