Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Samuel 24:21

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

21. 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 ( :- ) was by anticipation. Previous to the offering of this sacrifice, he had seen the destroying angel as well as offered the intercessory prayer ( 2 Samuel 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 ( 1 Chronicles 21:29 ; 1 Chronicles 21:30 ), and partly in anticipation of the removal of the tabernacle and the erection of the temple there ( 2 Chronicles 3:1 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-23" class="com-number"
