Analysis

The miscellaneous collection of narratives, lists, and poems in 2 Samuel 21–24 are appendices to the Books of Samuel, arranged not chronologically, but carefully crafted into a concentric three-tiered structure as follows:Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

A. National crisis (21:1-14) – David's penultimate public act
B. Lists of David's warriors and accounts of heroic deeds (21:15–22) – David's decline and his exit from military affairs
C. Poem (22:1–51) – A penultimate testament: David sings a song
C'. Poem (23:1–7) – David's ultimate testament
B'. Lists of David's warriors and accounts of heroic deeds (23:8–39) – David's decline and his exit from military affairs
A'. National crisis (24:1–25) – David's final public act

These chapters center on two poems: the Psalm of David in 22:2–51, a review of the mighty acts of God, and the oracle in 23:1–7, an assurance that the Davidic dynasty was to endure, with the focal point of the incipit to David's second poem (23:1): "These are the last words of David" as a notice that the 'David Narrative' is drawing to a close.Шаблон:Sfn Directly framing the central poems are the warrior exploits in 21:15–22 and again in 23:8–39 (accompanied by a warrior list) and bracketing in the outer circle are a famine story (21:1–14) and a plague story (24:11–25), both were caused by divine anger in response to a transgression by a king (Saul and David, respectively).Шаблон:Sfn The episode related to the Gibeonites in 21:1–14 links to the relationship between David and the house of Saul in the preceding chapter. The final section containing the plague story in 2 Samuel 24 links to the building of Solomon's temple, so appropriately placed right before 1 Kings.Шаблон:Sfn After these episodes the next story is King Solomon's succession, so then King David can die (1 Kings 1–2).Шаблон:Sfn

This chapter has the following structure:Шаблон:Sfn

A. The Lord's anger (24:1)
B. David's order, Joab's obedience (24:2–9)
C. David acknowledges his sin (24:10)
D. The penalty (24:11–13)
E. David's choice (24:14)
D'. The penalty exacted (24:15–16)
C'. David acknowledges his sin (24:17)
B'. Gad's order, David's obedience (24:18–25a)
A'. The Lord's anger is appeased (24:25b)

The center of this chapter is David's choice of his punishment as he left it to God's mercy. This is bracketed by the punishment choices and the punishment exacted (D/D' sections). The C/C' sections contain David's double confession. David's order and Joab's obedience (B section) parallels Gad's order and David's obedience (B' section). The inclusion (A/A' sections) is God's anger that raged at the beginning and was appeased at the end.Шаблон:Sfn

Шаблон:AnchorDavid’s military census (24:1–9)

Verse 1 suggests that David's census was incited so that God could punish Israel for a sin committed previously—from a theological perspective, whereas the Chronicler states that it was Satan who incited David to count the people (1 Chronicles 21:1) from a human perspective.Шаблон:Sfn[5] Joab possibly sensed the danger of moving from 'a charismatic levy to a human organization' (verse 3) as there was a 'religious taboo' on counting people (cf. Exodus 30:11–16).Шаблон:Sfn The reference to those 'able to draw the sword' (verse 9, cf. Numbers 1:2–3) indicates an enrollment for military service, which may neglect rules of purity (cf. Joshua 3:5; Deuteronomy 23:9–14).Шаблон:Sfn

Verse 1

And again the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.[6]
  • "Number": "take a census of"[7]

Шаблон:AnchorJudgment for David’s sin (24:10–17)

After David realized that he sinned against God, he was given choice through the prophet Gad (verse 11–14) between three possible punishments, varying in length of time from three years to three days, but on a reverse scale of intensity.Шаблон:Sfn David left the choice to God's mercy, which came down to pestillence (verse 15).Шаблон:Sfn

Шаблон:AnchorDavid built an altar (24:18–25)

This last section contains David's purchase of Araunah's threshing-floor which is an aetiological narrative explaining what would become the site of Solomon's temple (cf. the pillar at Bethel, Genesis 28:11-22, and the altar at Ophrah, Judges 6:11-24).Шаблон:Sfn Traditionally a threshing-floor could be a site of theophany (Judges 6:37) and a place for receiving divine messages (2 Kings 22:10) as extrabiblically also the case at Ugarit, but the text does not claim that Araunah's threshing-floor was originally a Jebusite sanctuary.Шаблон:Sfn It was the appearance of an angel (verse 16) and the erection of an altar (verses 18, 25) that made it a sanctuary.Шаблон:Sfn David's conversation with Araunah for purchasing the place recalls Abraham's conversation with the Hittites for the purchase of the cave of Machpelah (Genesis 23). In both cases the offer of a gift was rejected and a formal purchase was made (1 Chronicles 21:24 states explicitly that a gift from a non-Israelite could not be accepted for a site of the Jerusalem temple).Шаблон:Sfn David's response to God's words led to the erection of an altar offering pleasing sacrifice to God, which averted the plague (verse 25).Шаблон:Sfn The accounts in this chapter at the end of the Books of Samuel, ending with the erection of a holocaust altar on Araunah's threshing-floor, was to be continued in the next book (Books of Kings) with the accounts of the building of Solomon's temple.Шаблон:Sfn

Verse 24

Then the king said to Araunah, "No, but I will surely buy it from you for a price; nor will I offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God with that which costs me nothing."
So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.[8]
  • "Fifty shekels of silver": this was to purchase for the thresing-floor, oxen and wood instruments only, whereas the large sum "six hundred shekels of gold by weight" (1 Chronicles 21:25) was paid later for the whole hill, on which David prepared for the temple to be built by Solomon.[9]
