Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Araunah said unto David, let my lord the king take and offer up what [seemeth] good unto him,.... Build an altar, offer sacrifices of whatsoever he found upon the premises fit for the same, and make use of whatever came to hand proper to perform such service with, as follows:
behold, [here be] oxen for burnt sacrifice: which were employed in treading the corn, hence the law in Deuteronomy 25:4;
and threshing instruments; not flails, such as are used by us, but wooden sledges, drays or carts drawn on wheels, which were filled with stones, and the bottom of them stuck with iron teeth, and were drawn by oxen to and fro over the sheaves of corn; see Isaiah 28:27;
and [other] instruments of the oxen for wood; as their yokes; these Araunah gave leave to take to burn the sacrifice with; and in
1 Chronicles 21:23, it is added, "and the wheat for the meat offering", which was upon the threshingfloor; and there always went a meat offering with a burnt offering.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Here be oxen - Those, namely, which were at that very time threshing out the grain in Araunahâs threshing-floor 1 Chronicles 21:20; Deuteronomy 25:4.
Threshing-instruments - This was a kind of sledge with iron teeth Isaiah 41:15. It was drawn by two or four oxen over the grain on the floor.
Other instruments of the oxen - âi. e., the harness of the oxen,â of which the yoke, and perhaps some other parts, would be made of wood (marginal references; 1 Samuel 6:14).
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Samuel 24:22. Here be oxen for burnt-sacrifice — He felt for the king; and showed his loyalty to him by this offer. He felt for the people; and was willing to make any sacrifice to get the plague stayed. He felt for his own personal safety; and therefore was willing to give up all to save his life. He felt for the honour of God; and therefore was glad that he had a sacrifice to offer, so that God might magnify both his justice and mercy.
