1 Chronicles 21:22

21:22 David said to Ornan, “Sell me the threshing floor ¹  so I can build ²  on it an altar for the Lord – I’ll pay top price ³  – so that the plague may be removed ⁴  from the people.”

1 Chronicles 29:21-22

David Designates Solomon King

29:21 The next day they made sacrifices and offered burnt sacrifices to the Lord (1,000 bulls, 1,000 rams, 1,000 lambs), along with their accompanying drink offerings and many other sacrifices for all Israel. 29:22 They held a feast ⁵  before the Lord that day and celebrated. ⁶ 

Then they designated Solomon, David’s son, as king a second time; ⁷  before the Lord they anointed him as ruler and Zadok as priest.

[21:22]  ¹ tn Heb “the place of the threshing floor.”

[21:22]  ² tn Following the imperative, the prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive here indicates the immediate purpose/result: “so I can build.”

[21:22]  ³ tn Heb “For full silver sell to me.”

[21:22]  ⁴ tn Following the imperative and first person prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive, this third person prefixed verbal form with vav conjunctive introduces the ultimate purpose/result: “so the plague may be removed.” Another option is subordinate this form to the preceding imperative, but the latter may be taken as a parenthetical expansion of the initial request.

[29:22]  ⁵ tn Heb “they ate and drank.”

[29:22]  ⁶ tn Heb “with great joy.”

[29:22]  ⁷ sn See 1 Chr 23:1, where David had previously designated Solomon as king over Israel.
