The Hebrew word, "cut them," is, with the difference of the final letter, the same as that rendered "put them," in the parallel passage of Samuel [2Sa 12:31]; and many consider that putting them to saws, axes, and so forth, means nothing more than that David condemned the inhabitants of Rabbah to hard and penal servitude.

Clarke: 1Ch 20:3 - -- He brought out the people - See this transaction particularly explained in the notes on the parallel places, 2Sa 12:30-31 (note).

He brought out the people - See this transaction particularly explained in the notes on the parallel places, 2Sa 12:30-31 (note).

TSK: 1Ch 20:3 - -- And he : 1Ch 19:2-5; Psa 21:8, Psa 21:9 and cut : Instead of wyyasar , ""and he cut,""the parallel passage is wyyasem , ""and he put them;""which ...

And he : 1Ch 19:2-5; Psa 21:8, Psa 21:9

and cut : Instead of wyyasar , ""and he cut,""the parallel passage is wyyasem , ""and he put them;""which is also the reading here of seven manuscripts collated by Dr. Kennicott. Sawing asunder, etc., of human beings, have no more place in the text, than they had in David’ s conduct towards the Ammonites.

with saws : Exo 1:14; Jos 9:23; Jdg 8:6, Jdg 8:7, Jdg 8:16, Jdg 8:17; 1Ki 9:21

Haydock: 1Ch 20:3 - -- Harrows. Hebrew, "cut them with saws, and with harrows; (Haydock) or, rollers of iron, and with saws." But some other term was probably used, a...

Harrows. Hebrew, "cut them with saws, and with harrows; (Haydock) or, rollers of iron, and with saws." But some other term was probably used, as we find saws before. (Calmet) ---

Protestants have "axes." This exemplary punishment was in consequence of the violation of the law of nations. Abulensis pronounced it lawful. Tirinus accuses David of a grievous sin of cruelty; observing that he was at this time involved in the sin of adultery: and people easily fall from one abyss into another. Cruelty and lust often go together. Yet it seems best to suspend our judgment. (Haydock) ---

David might only treat the most guilty in this manner. (Du Hamel)

Gill: 1Ch 20:1-8 - -- See Gill on 1Ch 20:1, 2Sa 11:1, 1Ch 20:2, 2Sa 12:30, 2Sa 21:15, and 1Ch 21:1.
