| to build an altar unto the Lord, that the plague may be stayed--It is evident that the plague was not stayed till after the altar was built, and the sacrifice offered, so that what is related (Sa2 24:16) was by anticipation. Previous to the offering of this sacrifice, he had seen the destroying angel as well as offered the intercessory prayer (Sa2 24:17). This was a sacrifice of expiation; and the reason why he was allowed to offer it on Mount Moriah was partly in gracious consideration to his fear of repairing to Gibeon (Ch1 21:29-30), and partly in anticipation of the removal of the tabernacle and the erection of the temple there (Ch2 3:1). |
1 Then Solomon [08010] began [02490] to build [01129] the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] at Jerusalem [03389] in mount [02022] Moriah [04179], where the LORD appeared [07200] unto David [01732] his father [01], in the place [04725] that David [01732] had prepared [03559] in the threshingfloor [01637] of Ornan [0771] the Jebusite [02983].
29 For the tabernacle [04908] of the LORD [03068], which Moses [04872] made [06213] in the wilderness [04057], and the altar [04196] of the burnt offering [05930], were at that season [06256] in the high place [01116] at Gibeon [01391].
30 But David [01732] could [03201] not go [03212] before [06440] it to enquire [01875] of God [0430]: for he was afraid [01204] because [06440] of the sword [02719] of the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068].
17 And David [01732] spake [0559] unto the LORD [03068] when he saw [07200] the angel [04397] that smote [05221] the people [05971], and said [0559], Lo, I have sinned [02398], and I have done wickedly [05753]: but these sheep [06629], what have they done [06213]? let thine hand [03027], I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's [01] house [01004].
16 And when the angel [04397] stretched out [07971] his hand [03027] upon Jerusalem [03389] to destroy [07843] it, the LORD [03068] repented [05162] him of the evil [07451], and said [0559] to the angel [04397] that destroyed [07843] the people [05971], It is enough [07227]: stay [07503] now thine hand [03027]. And the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] was by the threshingplace [01637] of Araunah [0728] the Jebusite [02983].
