(23) Take it to thee.Comp. Gen. 23:11.

Let my lord the king do.Samuel, offer. In the Hebrew only one letter is different; and the word do may have the meaning offer, as in Greek (Comp. Exo. 29:38.)

I give thee.Not in Samuel; an exegetical addition.

For burnt offerings.For the burnt offerings. Samuel has the singular.

The threshing instruments, or drags. 1Ch. 20:3 a different word. See Isa. 41:15 and 2Sa. 24:22, the only other places where this word (mraq) occurs. Samuel adds, And the instruments (yokes) of the oxen.

For wood.For the wood (Gen. 22:7).

And the wheat for the meat offering.Not in Samuel, but probably part of the oldest text of this narrative.

I give it all.The whole I have given. Samuel (Heb.), The whole hath Araunah given, O king to the king. The rest of 2Sa. 24:23 is here omitted; And Araunah said unto the king, The Lord thy God accept thee.
