Commentary on 2 Samuel 24:25

Theological / Devotional

Offered burnt offerings. Burnt offerings at this time were offered at Gibeon where the Mosaic tabernacle then was located (1 Chron. 16:39, 40; 21:29; 2 Chron. 1:3–6). 1 Chron. 21:26 states that when these offerings were offered, the Lord “answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering.” David settled upon this site as the place for the house of the Lord (1 Chron. 21:1; 2 Chron. 3:1).

With this account of David’s repentance and reconciliation to God the book of Samuel closes. David’s life is a constant testimony to the goodness and mercy of God and to the power of His saving grace in the experiences of those who earnestly and humbly give their lives to Him.
