With their drink offerings – i. e., with the drink-offerings appropriate to each kind of burnt-offering, and required by the Law to accompany them (see Num 15:5, Num 15:7,Num 15:10, etc.).
Sacrifices – or, thank-offerings, as the same word is translated in 2Ch 29:31; 2Ch 33:16. Of peace-offerings for thanksgivings only a small part was the priests; the sacrificer and his friends feasted on the remainder Lev 7:15, Lev 7:29, Lev 7:34.

Verse 21. With their drink-offerings] The Targum says a thousand drink-offerings, making these libations equal in number to the other offerings.
And sacrifices] These were peace-offerings, offered for the people, and on the flesh of which they feasted.

Unto the Lord; before the ark which was there.
For all Israel; either,
1. On the behalf of all Israel, to praise God in their names, to procure Gods presence and blessing for them all. Or,
2. So many, that the feasts which, after the manner, were made of the remainders of the sacrifices, were abundantly sufficient for all the Israelites which were then present and desired to partake of them; or for all the governors of Israel there assembled, who may well pass under the name of all Israel, because they represented them all.

And they sacrificed sacrifices unto the Lord,…. David and the congregation:
and offered burnt offerings unto the Lord on the morrow after that day; not having time enough on that day to perform, at least not all of them; and these they offered on the altar David had erected in the threshingfloor of Araunah, by the order of God, where afterwards the temple was built:
[even] a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, with their burnt offerings; and meat offerings also, both which always went along with them:
and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel; whom they represented; these last were peace offerings, part of which the offerers had for themselves and friends to feast on, as these did, as follows.

(21) On the morrow after that day (lmohrath hayym hah); here only. (Comp. Jon. 4:7.) That is, on the day after the assembly.
A thousand bullocks . . .Heb., Bullocks a thousand, rams a thousand, &c., according to the later mode of speech; and their libations (Psa. 16:4; Exo. 29:40; Lev. 23:13).
And sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.The word sacrifices (zbhm) occurred in a general sense at the beginning of the verse. Here, in connexion with burnt-offerings, it has the special meaning of thank-offerings (shlmm; Authorised Version, peace-offerings, Deu. 12:6). See for both kinds of sacrifice, Lev. 1:1 sqq.; Exo. 20:24; Exo. 24:5.
For all Israel.So that every one present might partake of the sacrificial meal. (Comp. Notes on 1Ch. 16:2-3; Deu. 12:7; 1Sa. 1:3-8; 1Sa. 1:13.)
