Contextual Overview

¹⁰ David felt guilty after he had numbered the army. David said to the Lord , "I have sinned greatly by doing this! Now, O Lord , please remove the guilt of your servant, for I have acted very foolishly." ¹¹ When David got up the next morning, the Lord had already spoken to Gad the prophet, David's seer: ¹² "Go, tell David, ‘This is what the Lord says: I am offering you three forms of judgment. Pick one of them and I will carry it out against you.'" ¹³ Gad went to David and told him, "Shall seven years of famine come upon your land? Or shall you flee for three months from your enemy with him in hot pursuit? Or shall there be three days of plague in your land? Now decide what I should tell the one who sent me." ¹⁴ David said to Gad, "I am very upset! I prefer that we be attacked by the Lord , for his mercy is great; I do not want to be attacked by men!" ¹⁵ So the Lord sent a plague through Israel from the morning until the completion of the appointed time. Seventy thousand men died from Dan to Beer Sheba. ¹⁶ When the angel extended his hand to destroy Jerusalem, the Lord relented from his judgment. He told the angel who was killing the people, "That's enough! Stop now!" (Now the Lord 's angel was near the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.) ¹⁷ When he saw the angel who was destroying the people, David said to the Lord , "Look, it is I who have sinned and done this evil thing! As for these sheep—what have they done? Attack 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

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
