7 And came H935 to the strong hold H4013 of Tyre, H6865 and to all the cities H5892 of the Hivites, H2340 and of the Canaanites: H3669 and they went out H3318 to the south H5045 of Judah, H3063 even to Beersheba. H884
And then the coast H1366 turneth H7725 to Ramah, H7414 and to the strong H4013 city H5892 Tyre; H6865 and the coast H1366 turneth H7725 to Hosah; H2621 and the outgoings H8444 thereof are at the sea H3220 from the coast H2256 to Achzib: H392
And to the Canaanite H3669 on the east H4217 and on the west, H3220 and to the Amorite, H567 and the Hittite, H2850 and the Perizzite, H6522 and the Jebusite H2983 in the mountains, H2022 and to the Hivite H2340 under Hermon H2768 in the land H776 of Mizpeh. H4709
And it came to pass at that time, H6256 that Abimelech H40 and Phichol H6369 the chief captain H8269 of his host H6635 spake H559 unto Abraham, H85 saying, H559 God H430 is with thee in all that thou doest: H6213 Now therefore swear H7650 unto me here H2008 by God H430 that thou wilt not deal falsely H8266 with me, nor with my son, H5209 nor with my son's son: H5220 but according to the kindness H2617 that I have done H6213 unto thee, thou shalt do H6213 unto me, and to the land H776 wherein thou hast sojourned. H1481 And Abraham H85 said, H559 I will swear. H7650 And Abraham H85 reproved H3198 Abimelech H40 because H182 of a well H875 of water, H4325 which Abimelech's H40 servants H5650 had violently taken away. H1497 And Abimelech H40 said, H559 I wot H3045 not who hath done H6213 this thing: H1697 neither H3808 didst thou tell H5046 me, neither H3808 yet heard H8085 I of it, but H1115 to day. H3117 And Abraham H85 took H3947 sheep H6629 and oxen, H1241 and gave H5414 them unto Abimelech; H40 and both of them H8147 made H3772 a covenant. H1285 And Abraham H85 set H5324 seven H7651 ewe lambs H3535 of the flock H6629 by themselves. And Abimelech H40 said H559 unto Abraham, H85 What H2008 mean these seven H7651 ewe lambs H3535 which thou hast set H5324 by themselves? And he said, H559 For these seven H7651 ewe lambs H3535 shalt thou take H3947 of my hand, H3027 that H5668 they may be a witness H5713 unto me, that I have digged H2658 this well. H875 Wherefore he called H7121 that place H4725 Beersheba; H884 because there they sware H7650 both of them. H8147 Thus they made H3772 a covenant H1285 at Beersheba: H884 then Abimelech H40 rose up, H6965 and Phichol H6369 the chief captain H8269 of his host, H6635 and they returned H7725 into the land H776 of the Philistines. H6430 And Abraham planted H5193 a grove H815 in Beersheba, H884 and called H7121 there on the name H8034 of the LORD, H3068 the everlasting H5769 God. H410
Namely, five H2568 lords H5633 of the Philistines, H6430 and all the Canaanites, H3669 and the Sidonians, H6722 and the Hivites H2340 that dwelt H3427 in mount H2022 Lebanon, H3844 from mount H2022 Baalhermon H1179 unto the entering in H935 of Hamath. H2574
For the king H4428 said H559 to Joab H3097 the captain H8269 of the host, H2428 which was with him, Go now through H7751 all the tribes H7626 of Israel, H3478 from Dan H1835 even to Beersheba, H884 and number H6485 ye the people, H5971 that I may know H3045 the number H4557 of the people. H5971

Commentary on 2 Samuel 24 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 24
The last words of David, which we read in the chapter before, were admirably good, but in this chapter we read of some of his last works, which were none of the best; yet he repented, and did his first works again, and so he finished well. We have here,
2Sa 24:1-9
Here we have,
2Sa 24:10-17
We have here David repenting of the sin and yet punished for it, God repenting of the judgment and David thereby made more penitent.
2Sa 24:18-25
Here is,
