This is doubtless right, as the word in our Hebrew text might easily be a corrupt form of that in Samuel.<\/p>\n While that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee.<\/strong>Literally, and the sword of thy foes at overtaking.<\/em> The word overtaking (massgeth<\/em>) only occurs besides in Lev. 14:21<\/span>. Samuel has simply, and he pursuing thee. Perhaps the right text is, and he pursue thee to overtaking.<\/em> (Comp. the Syriac here: Three months thou shalt be subdued before thy enemy, and he shall be pursuing thee, and he shall be mastering thee.)<\/p>\n Or else three days the sword of the Lord . . . coasts of Israel.<\/strong>Samuel has the brief, Or that there be three days pestilence in thy land. Our text appears to be an exegetical expansion of the older statement. Others suppose it to be the original, of which Samuel is an epitome, alleging that otherwise the angel is introduced in 2Sa. 24:16<\/span> quite suddenly and abruptly. But we must remember that in the thought of those times pestilence and the sword, or <\/em>angel of the Lord, would be suggestive of each other. (Comp. 2Ki. 19:35<\/span>; and for the three judgments, Eze. 5:17<\/span>; Eze. 14:13-19<\/span>; Eze. 14:21<\/span>; Lev. 26:25-26<\/span>.)<\/p>\n Throughout all the coasts.<\/strong>In every border.<\/em><\/p>\n Now therefore advise thyself.<\/strong>And now see.<\/em> Samuel, Now know and see.<\/p>\n 1Ch 21:12 Either three years’ famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh [thee]; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.<\/p>\n Ver. 12. Either three years’ famine.] It is in Samuel, seven years’ famine. Seven years, say some, was God’s first offer: but David, praying for a shorter time – as Abraham brought God down from a fifty to ten persons, Gen 18:24-32 and as Ezekiel obtained ox dung for man’s dung Eze 4:15 – he reduced it to three years. See a better solution to this seeming contradiction in 2Sa 24:13<\/span> . See Trapp on “<\/em> 2Sa 24:13 “<\/em> <\/p>\n three years. See note on 2Sa 24:13. <\/p>\n be destroyed.

Either three years of famine In 2Sa 24:13, it is said the prophet propounded to David seven years of famine, concerning which see the note there. Let me fall now into the hand of the Lord The pestilence is more properly called the hand, or sword of the Lord, than other common calamities. For they have visible causes, but none know whence this sudden destruction comes, unless immediately from the hand or stroke of God.<\/p>\n Either three years’ famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh [thee]; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel.
