And David said to Gad: I am in a great strait: but it is better that I should fall into the hands of the Lord (for his mercies are many) than into the hands of men.

SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:14

Entonces David dijo a Gad: En grande angustia estoy; ruego que yo caiga en la mano del SEÑOR, porque sus miseraciones son muchas, y que no caiga yo en manos de hombres.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 24:14

Verse 14. I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand of the
Lord] David acted nobly in this business. Had he chosen war, his own personal safety was in no danger, because there was already an ordinance preventing him from going to battle. Had he chosen famine, his own wealth would have secured his and his own family's support. But he showed the greatness of his mind in choosing the pestilence, to the ravages of which himself and household were exposed equally with the meanest of his subjects.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 14. And
David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait , etc.] Not knowing well which to choose, each of them being so grievous, and an answer being to be returned immediately; but by his next words, and by the event, it seems he chose the pestilence, though that is not expressly said: let us fall now into the hand of the Lord ; the Targum in ( 1 Chronicles 21:13), is “into the hand of the Word of the Lord:” (for his mercies [are] great), and let me not fall into the hand of men ; indeed all the three judgments mentioned are by the hand of the Lord whenever they come; but in the pestilence the hand of the Lord is more visible, it coming immediately from his hand, as especially this was to do, and did; it did not arise from second causes, a noxious air, etc. but by means of an angel of God: David chose this, because he and his people would have nothing to do with men, as in famine they must have gone into other countries for food, and in war flee before their enemies, and lie at their mercy, and either of them more disgraceful than this; and which he might the rather choose on his own account, that his people might not be able to say he sought himself and his own interest; for had he chosen famine, as his people had been lately distressed that way already, they might, besides urging that, say, that he could lay up stores for himself and family; or had he chosen war, they might observe he had fortified places to flee to, one after another, and shelter himself; but for the arrows of the pestilence he was as likely a mark as the meanest of his subjects: but what seems to have moved him chiefly to make this choice is, that it would not only be the soonest over, but that it wholly depended on the pleasure of God what use he would make of it in that time; and chiefly because he knew God was gracious and merciful, and it was upon his great mercy he cast himself and his people.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 10-15 - It is well, when a man has
sinned, if he has a heart within to smit him for it. If we confess our sins, we may pray in faith that God woul forgive them, and take away, by pardoning mercy, that sin which we cas away by sincere repentance. What we make the matter of our pride, it is just in God to take from us, or make bitter to us, and make it ou punishment. This must be such a punishment as the people have a larg share in, for though it was David's sin that opened the sluice, the sins of the people all contributed to the flood. In this difficulty David chose a judgment which came immediately from God, whose mercie he knew to be very great, rather than from men, who would have triumphed in the miseries of Israel, and have been thereby hardened in their idolatry. He chose the pestilence; he and his family would be a much exposed to it as the poorest Israelite; and he would continue for a shorter time under the Divine rebuke, however severe it was. The rapid destruction by the pestilence shows how easily God can bring dow the proudest sinners, and how much we owe daily to the Divine patience.
