2 Samuel 24:15 meaning and explanation
So the LORD sent a plague upon Israel from that morning until the appointed time, and seventy thousand of the people from Dan to Beersheba died.
2 Samuel 24:15, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
David has just chosen the third of three offered judgments, preferring to fall into the LORD's hands rather than into human hands (verse 14). The narrator reports the outcome plainly: a plague runs from that morning until "the appointed time," and seventy thousand die across the whole land, from Dan to Beersheba, the same span covered by the census.
