SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:18
¶ Y Gad vino a David aquel día, y le dijo: Sube, y haz un altar al SEÑOR en la era de Arauna jebuseo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 24:18
Verse 18. Go up, rear an altar unto the Lord] This place is supposed to be Mount Moriah: on which, according to the rabbins, Cain and Hebel offered their sacrifices; where Abraham attempted to sacrifice Isaac, and where the temple of Solomon was afterwards built.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. And Gad came that day to David , etc.] Ordered and directed by the angel of the Lord, ( 1 Chronicles 21:18); and said unto him, go up, rear an altar unto the Lord in the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite : it was too far to go to Gibeon, where the tabernacle was, at such a time of extremity, when the sword of the angel was stretched out over Jerusalem, ( 1 Chronicles 21:29,30); and this was the most proper place, as it was the very spot over and nearest to which the angel was; and was on Mount Moriah, where the Jews say Abraham offered up Isaac; and where the temple was afterwards built, as Kimchi and Ben Gersom observe; and Eupolemus, an Heathen writer f422 , says, that when David desired to build a temple for God, and that he would show him the place of the altar, an angel appeared to him, standing over the place where the altar at Jerusalem was to be built.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 18-25 - God's encouraging us to offer to him spiritual sacrifices, is a evidence of his reconciling us to himself. David purchased the groun to build the altar. God hates robbery for burnt-offering. Those know not what religion is, who chiefly care to make it cheap and easy to themselves, and who are best pleased with that which costs them leas pains or money. For what have we our substance, but to honour God with it; and how can it be better bestowed? See the building of the altar and the offering proper sacrifices upon it. Burnt-offerings to the glory of God's justice; peace-offerings to the glory of his mercy Christ is our Altar, our Sacrifice; in him alone we may expect to escape his wrath, and to find favour with God. Death is destroying all around, in so many forms, and so suddenly, that it is madness not to expect and prepare for the close of life __________________________________________________________________
