Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers 1878 · Public Domain (27) He put up . . .—It seems hardly…

(27) He put up . . .—It seems hardly fair to call this verse a “figurative or poetical expression for the cessation of the plague.” In 1Ch_21:16 David sees the angel with drawn sword; and the older text (2Sa_24:16-17) equally makes the angel a “real concrete being,” and not a “personification,” as Reuss will have it.

Sheath (nâdân).—A word only found here. A very similar term is applied to the body as the sheath of the soul in Dan_7:15; viz., the Aramaic, nidneh, which should, perhaps, be read here.

1Ch_21:28 to 1Ch_22:1. These concluding remarks are not read in Samuel, but the writer, no doubt, found some basis for them in his special source. They tell us how it was that Oman’s threshingfloor became recognised as a permanent sanctuary, and the site ordained for the future Temple. They thus form a transition to the account of David’s preparations for the building (1Ch_22:2-19).
