SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:7
Y vinieron luego a la fortaleza de Tiro, y a todas las ciudades de los heveos y de los cananeos; y salieron al mediodía de Judá, a Beerseba.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 24:7
Verse 7. The strong hold of Tyre] This must have been the old city of Tyre, which was built on the main land: the new city was built on a rock in the sea.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 7. And came to the strong hold of Tyre , etc.] That is, old Tyre, which stood thirty furlongs from new Tyre, the island f414 ; of which (see Gill on “ Isaiah 23:1”); this must be understood of the parts near unto it; for that itself was not within the land of Israel, and so its inhabitants not to be numbered: and to all the cities of the Hivites, and of the Canaanites : which were possessed by them, and from whence they were not driven out by the Israelites; to all places contiguous to them, Joab and his captains came to take the number of them: and they went out to the south of Judah: [even] to Beersheba ; passing through the western part of the land, they came to the southern part of it, even as far as Beersheba, which was the extreme part of the land to the south.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-9 - For the people's sin David was left to act wrong, and in his chastisement they received punishment. This example throws light upo God's government of the world, and furnishes a useful lesson. The prid of David's heart, was his sin in numbering of the people. He though thereby to appear the more formidable, trusting in an arm of flesh mor than he should have done, and though he had written so much of trustin in God only. God judges not of sin as we do. What appears to u harmless, or, at least, but a small offence, may be a great sin in the eye of God, who discerns the thoughts and intents of the heart. Eve ungodly men can discern evil tempers and wrong conduct in believers, of which they themselves often remain unconscious. But God seldom allow those whom he loves the pleasures they sinfully covet.
