Commentary on 1 Chronicles 21:13

Theological / Devotional

Hand of the Lord. David did not make a direct choice among the three judgments set before him. He preferred to have his case rest with God rather than with man. Since the Israelites were filled with the same spirit of pride that prompted David’s military plans, the punishment was permitted to come upon them as well as upon the king (2 Samuel 24:1; Patriarchs and Prophets 748).
