Exegesis
Two parallel “into the hand” phrases—bəyaḏ-yəhōwāh {בְיַד־יְהוָה | bəyaḏ-yəhōwāh} and ûḇəyaḏ-ʾāḏām {וּבְיַד־אָדָם | ûḇəyaḏ-ʾāḏām}—form a deliberate antithesis: David chooses divine dealing over human control.
In context — 1 Chronicles 21:13
And David said to Gad, “I am greatly distressed; please let me fall into the hand of the LORD , for His mercies are very great; but do not let me fall into the hand of man.”
