2 Samuel 24:14 And David said to Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand of the LORD; for his mercies are great… David prefers what was usually designated "The stroke of God." "Let us fall," says lie, "now into the hand of the Lord; for his mercies are great; and let me not fall into the hand of man." A saying of Gordon (it was among his last) may be recalled — were not the two men in many respects moulded alike?: "I have the Shekinah, and I do like trusting to Him and not to men." (J. R. Macduff, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand of the LORD; for his mercies are great: and let me not fall into the hand of man. |
