1 Chronicles 21:27
Then the LORD spoke to the angel, who put his sword back into its sheath.
BSB
ASV
And Jehovah commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof.
KJV
And the Lord commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof.
But God sees not as man sees. It is plain it was wrong in David to do it, and a great provocation to God, because he did it in the pride of his heart; and there is no sin that has in it more of contradiction and therefore more of offence to God than pride. The sin was David's; he alone must bear the blame of it.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
