Contextual Overview

¹⁰ But after he had taken the census, David was conscience-stricken. David said to Adonai , "I have greatly sinned in what I have done. But now, Adonai , please! Put aside your servant's sin, for I have done a very foolish thing." ¹¹ When David got up in the morning, this word of Adonai came to the prophet Gad, David's seer: ¹² "Go and say to David that this is what Adonai says: ‘I am giving you a choice of three punishments. Choose one of them, and I will execute it against you." ¹³ Gad came to David and told him; he said: "Do you want seven years of famine in your land? or do you want to flee before your enemies for three months while they pursue you? or do you want three days of plague in your land? Think about it, and tell me what to answer the one who sent me." ¹⁴ David said to Gad, "This is very hard for me. Let us fall into the hand of Adonai , because his mercies are great, rather than have me fall into the hand of man." ¹⁵ So Adonai sent a plague on Isra'el from that morning until the end of the specified time; 70,000 of the people died between Dan and Be'er-Sheva. ¹⁶ But when the angel stretched out his hand toward Yerushalayim to destroy it, Adonai changed his mind about causing such distress and said to the angel destroying the people, "Enough! Now withdraw your hand." The angel of Adonai was at the threshing-floor of Aravnah the Y'vusi. ¹⁷ David spoke to Adonai when he saw the angel striking the people; he said, "Here, I have sinned, I have done wrong. But these sheep, what have they done? Please! Let your hand be against me and against my father's 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

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
