Old Testament references

Шаблон:Anchor David’s military census (21:1–6)

The Chronicler reinterprets and supplements the account in 2 Samuel 24, taking the perspective of Job chapter 1.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Instead of "the anger of the Шаблон:Lord" (2 Samuel 24:1), the one who persuaded David to carry out a census is "Satan", a Hebrew word which should be translated as "an adversary" rather than a personal name, more likely is the same figure mentioned in Шаблон:Bibleverseff and Zechariah 3:1ff.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn David's guilt is pronounced strongly by Joab (more than in 2 Samuel 24) as the word 'trespass' (verse 3; NRSV, 'guilt') is used to emphasize David's responsibility.Шаблон:Sfn The Chronicler simply documents the result of the census, excluding the individual stages (due to its insignificance or incomprehensibility) recorded in 2 Samuel 24.Шаблон:Sfn

Verse 5

And Joab gave the sum of the numbering of the people to David. In all Israel there were 1,100,000 men who drew the sword, and in Judah 470,000 who drew the sword.[2]

Verse 6

But he did not count Levi and Benjamin among them, for the king’s word was abominable to Joab.[3]

Шаблон:Bibleverse forbids to take a military census among the Levites, whereas the tribe of Benjamin was probably excluded because 'the tabernacle resided upon its territory'.Шаблон:Sfn

Шаблон:Anchor Judgment for David’s sin (21:7–13)

The passage emphasizes on YHWH's disapproval, not David's remorse (as in 2 Samuel 24) because David was persuaded by Satan, so it has the statement 'he struck Israel' forecasting the events reported in verse 14.Шаблон:Sfn

Шаблон:Anchor A plague on Israel (21:14–17)

The sin of David resulted in the death of Israelites (verse 14; cf. Шаблон:Bibleverse; Шаблон:Bibleverse-nb; Шаблон:Bibleverse-nb).Шаблон:Sfn

Verse 14

So the Lord sent a plague throughout Israel, and seventy thousand men of Israel fell.[4]

This sentence is followed in Шаблон:Bibleverse by "from the morning even to the time appointed," so if "the time appointed" means 'the time of the evening sacrifice', then God shortened the three days to a short one day.[5]

Verse 16

David lifted up his eyes and saw the angel of the Lord standing between earth and heaven with his sword drawn in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. So David and the elders, covered in sackcloth, fell on their faces.[6]

The Chronicler describes the angel hanging in the air, recalling the descriptions in Numbers 22:31 and Joshua 5:13-15 (cf. also verse 18); furthermore cf. Daniel 8:15; 12:6.Шаблон:Sfn

Шаблон:Anchor David builds an altar (21:18–30)

In verses 21–25, the purchase of Ornan's threshingfloor is patterned after Abraham's purchase of Machpelah's cave (Genesis 23), including the insistence on paying the full price (an expression used only in Genesis 23:9 and verses 22, 24). The 600 silver shekels David pays is more than Abraham's 400 silver shekels for Machpelah's cave, alluding the higher value of temple site than Sarah's burial site (600 is also a multiple of 12, an important number in various ways in the Chronicles).Шаблон:Sfn Verses 29–30 explain that because an angel obstructed his way, David had to make sacrifices on Ornan's threshing-floor, instead of at the high place at Gibeon.Шаблон:Sfn

Verse 18

Then the angel of the Lord commanded Gad to tell David that David should go up and raise an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. [7]

The command to erect an altar on the threshing-floor of Ornan (the later name for Araunah) was given only by Gad in 2 Samuel 24, is clarified in Chronicles as originated from the angel of YHWH.Шаблон:Sfn
