* Uriah.
# 11:3,6-27 12:9 1Ki 15:5 1Ch 11:41 Mt 1:6
* thirty and seven in all.
From the number of these officers being thirty-seven, it is
almost self-evident that {shalishim} cannot denote the thirty,
as rendered in ver. 13, etc., but some particular description
of men, or officers; for it can scarcely be said, with
propriety, that we have thirty-seven out of thirty; and
besides, in the parallel place in 1 Chronicles, there are
sixteen added!

1 David, tempted by Satan, forces Joab to number the people.
5 The captains, in nine months and twenty days, bring the
muster of thirteen hundred thousand fighting men.
10 David repents, and having three plagues propounded by God,
chooses the three days' pestilence.
15 After the death of three score and ten thousand, David by
prayer prevents the destruction of Jerusalem.
18 David, by God's direction, purchases Araunah's threshing
floor; where having sacrificed, the plague stays.
* A.M. 2987. B.C. 1017. An. Ex. Is. 474. again.
# 21:1-14
* he.
This verse, when read without reference to any other part of
the word of God, is very difficult to understand, and has been
used by those who desire to undermine the justice of God, to
shew that he sought occasion to punish--that he incited David
to sin; and when he had so incited him, gave to him the
dreadful alternative of choosing one of three scourges by
which his people were to be cut off. On the face of the
passage these thoughts naturally arise, because "the Lord" is
the antecedent to the pronoun "he,"--He moved David. But to
those who "search the Scriptures," this exceedingly difficult
passage receives a wonderful elucidation, By referring to 1
Ch 21:1, the reader will there find that Satan was the mover,
and that the Lord most righteously punished David for the
display of pride he had manifested. Oh! that Christians, who
sometimes have their minds harassed with doubts, would
remember the promise, that what they know not now they shall
know hereafter; and if no other instance of elucidation than
this passage occurred to them to remove their doubts, let this
be a means of stirring them up to dig deeper than ever into
the inexhaustible mines of the Inspired Word.

We know not in what the sinfulness of this action consisted.
Some think it was a contempt of the promise that the
Israelites should be innumerable, and that they ought not to
have been numbered without an express command, as in the days
of Moses. Others suppose with Josephus that it was a kind of
sacrilege, in omitting to collect the half-shekel a-piece for
the use of the sanctuary. It however would appear that pride
and ambition, and a desire of conquest, induced David to this
measure, and rendered it so displeasing to God.

The Third Book of the KINGS.
1 Abishag cherishes David in his extreme age.
5 Adonijah, David's darling, usurps the kingdom.
11 By the council of Nathan,
15 Bath-sheba moves the king,
22 and Nathan seconds her.
28 David renews his oath to Bath-sheba.
32 Solomon, by David's appointment, being anointed king by
Zadok and Nathan, the people triumph.
41 Jonathan bringing the news, Adonijah's guests fly.
50 Adonijah, flying to the horns of the altar, upon his good
behaviour, is dismissed by Solomon.
* old.
David was probably now about sixty-nine years of age. He was
thirty years old when he began to reign, reigned forty, and
died in his seventieth year; and the transactions mentioned
here are supposed to have taken place about a year before his
death. Sixty-nine was not an advanced age; but he had been
exhausted with various fatigues, and especially family
afflictions, so that he was much older in constitution than in
years.

It is not recorded when or upon what occasion David sware to
Bathsheba that Solomon should succeed him; but it is supposed,
with some degree of probability, that it took place after
Absalom's rebellion; and as God himself had settled the
succession, he might very properly give her this assurance.

At this time the monarchy of Israel was unsettled; no man knew
who was to succeed to the crown; and the minds of the people
were as unsettled as the succession. It was neither
hereditary nor elective: the king, as was anciently the case
in most countries, named his successor; but in this instance,
God had already assigned the throne to Solomon.

That is, when Adonijah is established on the throne, I and my
son Solomon shall be put to death as state criminals. The
history of the world demonstrates, that the lust of dominion
has tempted men to commit the most enormous crimes. A father
has destroyed his son, a son deposed a father, and a brother
murdered a brother, in order to obtain a crown!
