David said to Gad, “I am in distress. Let me fall, I pray, into the LORD’s hand, for his mercies are very great. Don’t let me fall into man’s hand.”

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 13. Men. Susanna spoke on a different supposition, (Daniel 13:23, Sirach 2:22) of eternal punishment, in consequence of sin. David prefers to be punished by the hand of a tender father, rather than that of an enemy; ( Tirinus. E.) and he does not wish to screen himself from suffering in this world, but offers himself to share in the chastisement of his subjects. Bible.
