Contextual Overview

¹⁰ David felt ashamed after he had counted the people. He said to the Lord , "I have sinned greatly by what I have done. Lord , I beg you to forgive me, your servant, because I have been very foolish." ¹¹ When David got up in the morning, the Lord spoke his word to Gad, who was a prophet and David's seer. ¹² The Lord told Gad, "Go and tell David, ‘This is what the Lord says: I offer you three choices. Choose one of them and I will do it to you.'" ¹³ So Gad went to David and said to him, "Should three years of hunger come to you and your land? Or should your enemies chase you for three months? Or should there be three days of disease in your land? Think about it. Then decide which of these things I should tell the Lord who sent me." ¹⁴ David said to Gad, "I am in great trouble. Let the Lord punish us, because the Lord is very merciful. Don't let my punishment come from human beings!" ¹⁵ So the Lord sent a terrible disease on Israel. It began in the morning and continued until the chosen time to stop. From Dan to Beersheba seventy thousand people died. ¹⁶ When the angel raised his arm toward Jerusalem to destroy it, the Lord felt very sorry about the terrible things that had happened. He said to the angel who was destroying the people, "That is enough! Put down your arm!" The angel of the Lord was then by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite. ¹⁷ When David saw the angel that killed the people, he said to the Lord , "I am the one who sinned and did wrong. These people only followed me like sheep. They did nothing wrong. Please punish me and my family."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For when David was up in the morning,.... Which it is probable was very early, he not being able to sleep through the distress of mind he was in; for the words should be rendered, "and David arose in the morning" c, for, as we render them, they seem to imply as if he had no sense of his sin before the prophet came to him next mentioned; whereas it was in the night he had been under the conviction of it, and had acknowledged it, and prayed for the pardon of it; upon which the prophet was sent to acquaint him what was the will of God concerning him:

the word of the Lord came unto the prophet Gad, David's seer; with whom he had used to advise about the will of God on various occasions, though in this he had neglected to consult him; the Targum calls it the word of prophecy from the Lord:

saying; as follows.

c ויקם "et surrexit", Pagninus, Montanus, &c.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

David’s seer - Margin, references. From the latter passage it is probable that we have here Gad’s narrative.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Samuel 24:11. For when David was up — It is supposed that David's contrition arose from the reproof given by Gad, and that in the order of time the reproof came before the confession stated in the 10th verse. 2 Samuel 24:10

David's seer — A holy man of God, under the Divine influence, whom David had as a domestic chaplain.
