So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time appointed: and there died of the people from Dan even to Beer-sheba seventy thousand men.
All Commentaries on 2 Samuel 24:15 Go To 2 Samuel 24
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
And. Septuagint insert, "And David chose death, (the pestilence, as they usually render it; Salien). And it was the time of the wheat-harvest. And the Lord gave death in Israel, from morning till dinner-time. "(Haydock)
Appointed, for three days; though before the end of the last, God took pity on the people, ver 16. (Calmet)
Bo chart thinks the pestilence ceased to rage at some hour of the first day. Syriac and Arabic, "till the sixth hour."
