The sending of an angel signifies divine judgment, a theme consistent throughout the Old Testament, where angels often act as agents of God's will (e.g., <a href="/genesis/19.htm">Genesis 19:1</a>, <a href="/2_kings/19-35.htm">2 Kings 19:35</a>). The context here is David's sin of conducting a census, which was seen as an act of pride and lack of trust in God. Jerusalem, the city chosen by God for His temple, becomes the focal point of this judgment, emphasizing the seriousness of sin even in the most sacred places.but as the angel was doing so, the LORD saw it and relented from the calamity This demonstrates God's mercy and compassion, even in the midst of judgment. The concept of God relenting is seen in other scriptures, such as <a href="/jonah/3-10.htm">Jonah 3:10</a>, where God spares Nineveh. It reflects the tension between God's justice and mercy, a recurring theme in the Bible. The Hebrew word for "relented" can also mean "to be moved to pity," showing God's deep compassion for His people.and He said to the angel who was destroying the people, “Enough! Withdraw your hand now!” God's command to the angel to stop the destruction underscores His sovereign control over all events. It also illustrates the power of divine intervention to halt judgment, a theme echoed in the story of Abraham interceding for Sodom (<a href="/genesis/18-22.htm">Genesis 18:22-33</a>). This moment of divine mercy is pivotal, showing that God's ultimate desire is not to destroy but to restore.At that time the angel of the LORD was standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite The location is significant both geographically and theologically. The threshing floor of Ornan (also known as Araunah) is on Mount Moriah, the future site of Solomon's temple (<a href="/2_chronicles/3.htm">2 Chronicles 3:1</a>). This site is rich in biblical history, being the place where Abraham was to sacrifice Isaac (<a href="/genesis/22-2.htm">Genesis 22:2</a>). Theologically, it represents a place of sacrifice and atonement, foreshadowing the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The presence of the angel at this specific location highlights the transition from judgment to mercy, as David later purchases the site to build an altar to the LORD, averting further disaster (<a href="/1_chronicles/21-18.htm">1 Chronicles 21:18-26</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a> The sovereign Lord who commands the angel and shows mercy by relenting from the destruction. 2. <a href="/topical/a/angel_of_the_lord.htm">Angel of the LORD</a> A divine messenger sent to execute judgment on Jerusalem but stopped by God's command. 3. <a href="/topical/j/jerusalem.htm">Jerusalem</a> The city under threat of destruction due to David's sin of conducting a census. 4. <a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a> The king of Israel who sinned by ordering a census, leading to God's judgment. 5. <a href="/topical/a/araunah_the_jebusite.htm">Araunah the Jebusite</a> The owner of the threshing floor where the angel of the LORD was seen, which later becomes the site for David's altar.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty_and_mercy.htm">God's Sovereignty and Mercy</a> God is in control of all events, including judgment, but His mercy triumphs over judgment.

The verb is the same word in each, and the word "God" in our text is substituted for "Jehovah," which, again, is a misreading of part of the Hebrew of Samuel (y?do ha), the first word meaning his hand, and the second being the definite article belonging to "angel."To destroy.--A different voice of the same verb as in Samuel.And as he was destroying, the Lord beheld. Not in Samuel. The words "soften the harshness of the transition from the command to the countermand" (Bertheau).As he was destroying.--About (at the time of) the destroying; when the angel was on the point of beginning the work of death. It does not appear that Jerusalem was touched. (Comp. <a href="/2_samuel/24-16.htm" title="And when the angel stretched out his hand on Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, It is enough: stay now your hand. And the angel of the LORD was by the threshing place of Araunah the Jebusite.">2Samuel 24:16</a>.)That destroyed.--Samuel adds, "Among the people." The addition is needless, because the Hebrew implies "the destroying angel." (Comp. <a href="/exodus/12-23.htm" title="For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in to your houses to smite you.">Exodus 12:23</a>.It is enough, stay now.--According to the Hebrew accentuation, Enough now (jam satis), stay (drop) thine hand.Stood.--Was standing. Samuel, "had come to be."Ornan.--So the name is spelt throughout this chapter. Samuel has the less Hebrew-looking forms ha-'ornah (text; comp. the LXX. ?pva) or ha-Arawnah, margin) here, and in <a href="/1_chronicles/21-18.htm" title="Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and set up an altar to the LORD in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.">1Chronicles 21:18</a> Aranyah (text), elsewhere Arawnah. Such differences are natural in spelling foreign names. The LXX. have "Orna," the Syriac and Arabic "Aran." . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_chronicles/21.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 15. - And God sent an angel. It is at this point first that any mention of an angel is found in the parallel place, but then not in the present form, but in a sentence which would seem to presuppose the knowledge of the agency of an angel on the occasion: "And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the Lord repented him of the evil" (<a href="/2_samuel/24-16.htm">2 Samuel 24:16</a>). Stood by the threshing-floor of Ornan. The verb "stood" is employed here quite generically. It does not imply that the angel stood on the ground; for see next verse, in which it is said that he "stood between the earth and the heaven," the Hebrew verb being exactly the same. Ornan is the uniform form and spelling of the name in Chronicles. In Samuel, however, the name appears as אֲרַנְוָה (<a href="/2_samuel/24-20.htm">2 Samuel 24:20</a>), or Araunah. Yet in ver. 16, of the same chapter the Kethiv inverts the order of the resh and vau, prefixing the article, or what looks like it, and again in ver. 18 the Kethiv shows the form אֲרַנְיָה. Ornan, then, or Arauuah, was a descendant of the old Jebusite race to whom the fort of Zion once belonged. And the present narrative finds him living on the Hill of Moriah (Conder's' Bible Handbook,' 2nd edit., 236 [6]). The threshing-floor. The primitive threshing-floors of the Israelites still essentially obtain. They were level spots of stamped and well-trodden earth, about fifty feet in diameter, and selected in positions most exposed to the wind, in order to take the advantage of its help in the separating of the grain from the chaff. On these circular spots of hard earth the sheaves of grain, of whatever kind, were distributed in all sorts of disorder. Oxen and other cattle trod them. And sometimes these beasts were driven round and round five abreast. The stalk of the grain was, of course, much bruised and crushed, and the method is described still as of a very rough and wasteful kind. Instruments were also employed, as the "flail" (<a href="/ruth/2-17.htm">Ruth 2:17</a>; <a href="/isaiah/28-27.htm">Isaiah 28:27, 28</a>); the "sledge," to which possibly reference is made in <a href="/judges/8-7.htm">Judges 8:7, 16</a>, under the name barkanim (Authorized Version, "briers"). These sledges were of two kinds: (1) the morag (<a href="/2_samuel/24-22.htm">2 Samuel 24:22</a>; <a href="/1_chronicles/21-23.htm">1 Chronicles 21:23</a>; <a href="/isaiah/41-15.htm">Isaiah 41:15</a>), made of fiat planks joined together, and furnished with rough studs on the under surface; and (2) agalah, rendered Authorized Version, "cart-wheel" (<a href="/isaiah/28-27.htm">Isaiah 28:27</a>), made of wooden rollers, or rollers of iron or stone, and dragged by cattle over the sheaves. Egypt and Syria, as well as Palestine, still show these instruments (see Robinson's 'Bibl. Res.,' 1:550; and Thomson's 'Land and the Book,' pp. 538-541). <a href="/commentaries/1_chronicles/21-15.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>Then God הָאֱלֹהִ֨ים ׀ (hā·’ĕ·lō·hîm) Article | Noun -
