King James Bible - 2 Samuel 24:17

And David spake unto the LORD when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's house.

World English Bible

David spoke to Yahweh when he saw the angel who struck the people, and said, "Behold, I have sinned, and I have done perversely; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand be against me, and against my father's house."

Douay-Rheims - 2 Samuel 24:17

And David said to the Lord, when he saw the angel striking the people: It is I; I am he that have sinned, I have done wickedly: these that are the sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I beseech thee, be turned against me, and against my father's house.

Webster's Bible Translation

And David spoke to the LORD when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's house.

SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:17

Y David dijo al SEÑOR, cuando vio al ángel que hería al pueblo: Yo pequé, yo hice la maldad; ¿qué hicieron estas ovejas? Te ruego que tu mano se vuelva contra mí, y contra la casa de mi padre.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 24:17

Verse 17. But these
sheep, what have they done?] It seems that in the order of Providence there is no way of punishing kings in their regal capacity, but by afflictions on their land, in which the people must necessarily suffer. If the king, therefore, by his own personal offenses, in which the people can have no part, bring down God's judgments upon his people, (though they suffer innocently,) grievous will be the account that he must give to God. The people generally suffer for the miscarriages of their governors: this has been observed in every age.

Quicquid delirant reges, plectuntur Achivi.- "When doting monarchs urge Unsound resolves, their subjects feel the scourge." HOR. Ep. lib. i., ep. 2, ver. 14.

Against my father's house.] That is, against his own family; even to cut it off from the face of the earth.


John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 17. And David spake unto the Lord , etc.] In prayer; he and the elders of Israel being clothed in sackcloth, and fallen on their faces, he prayed, not unto the angel, but to Jehovah that sent him; (see 1 Chronicles 21:16,17); when he saw the angel that smote the people ; in the air over Jerusalem, with a drawn sword in his hand, which made him appear terrible: and said, lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly ; in numbering the people: but these sheep, what have they done ? he looked upon himself as the only transgressor, and his people as innocent, and as harmless as sheep; he thought of no sins but his own; these were uppermost in his mind, and lay heavy on his conscience; and it grieved him extremely the his people should suffer on his account: but they were not so innocent as he thought and suggests; and it was not only for his, but their sins, this evil came; he was suffered to do what he did, to bring upon them deserved punishment for their rebellion against him, and other sins; however, this shows the high opinion he had of them, the great affection he had for them, and his sympathy with them in this time of distress: let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father’s house ; let me and mine die, and not they; a type of Christ, the good Shepherd, willing to lay down his life for the sheep, and suffer in their stead, that they might go free.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 16, 17 - Perhaps there was more
wickedness, especially more pride, and that wa the sin now chastised, in Jerusalem than elsewhere, therefore the han of the destroyer is stretched out upon that city; but the Lord repente him of the evil, changed not his mind, but his way. In the very plac where Abraham was stayed from slaying his son, this angel, by a lik countermand, was stayed from destroying Jerusalem. It is for the sak of the great Sacrifice, that our forfeited lives are preserved from the destroying angel. And in David is the spirit of a true shepherd of the people, offering himself as a sacrifice to God, for the salvation of his subjects.
