**Satan.** See note on [2 Samuel 24:1](../../../kjv/2-samuel/24/1) .
**trespass** = guilt. See [Exodus 30:11-16](../../../kjv/exodus/30/11-16) . The Tabernacle was erected with the *ransom* paid for 600,000. The site of the Temple obtained at the cost of 70,000 souls.

**the sum.** See note on [2 Samuel 24:9](../../../kjv/2-samuel/24/9) .

**God.** Hebrew. *Elohim.* (with Art.) = the [true] God. App-4 .

**sinned.** Hebrew. *chata'.* App-44 . David's repentance and confession preceded Gad's visit to him.
**iniquity** = perverseness.

**three years.** See note on [2 Samuel 24:13](../../../kjv/2-samuel/24/13) .
**be destroyed.** Septuagint and Vulgate read "flee", as in [2 Samuel 24:13](../../../kjv/2-samuel/24/13) .
**coasts** = borders.

**great** = many.

**He repented.** Figure of speech *Anthropopatheia.* App-6 .
**Oman:** or Araunah in [2 Samuel 24](../../../kjv/2-samuel/24) .

**the place.** Hebrew. *makom,* as in [Ruth 4:10](../../../kjv/ruth/4/10) . Referring to the whole place, afterward the Temple area. Not Hebrew. *goren,* as in [2 Samuel 24:24](../../../kjv/2-samuel/24/24) , which was merely the threshingfloor, as in [Ruth 3:2](../../../kjv/ruth/3/2) . Hence 600 shekels of gold for the former, but only 50 shekels of silver for the latter. Two distinct transactions.

**threshing instruments** = threshing sledges composed of balks of timber, with sharp stones or iron spikes beneath. Compare [Isaiah 41:15](../../../kjv/isaiah/41/15) . [2 Samuel 24:22](../../../kjv/2-samuel/24/22) . Hebrew. *morag.* Called to-day in Palestine *moarej.*
**meat offering** = meal offering. Hebrew. *minchah,* gift offering. App-43 .

**offer** = offer up. Hebrew. *'alah* . App-43 .

**from heaven by fire.** All sacrifices accepted by God were consumed by fire from heaven, not kindled on earth. See note on [Genesis 4:4](../../../kjv/genesis/4/4) .

**sheath.** Occurs only here.

**he sacrificed there;** i.e. by the priests.

**tabernacle** = dwelling-place. Hebrew. *mishkan.*
**Gibeon.** Compare [1 Chronicles 16:39](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/16/39) . 2Ch 1:3 . [1 Kings 3:4](../../../kjv/1-kings/3/4) .

**afraid:** i.e. afraid [to delay] because, &c. Otherwise Gibeon was only about eight miles away.
