2 Samuel 24:25
David - offered burnt-offerings - And that these sacrifices were pleasing to the Lord, is evident from a circumstance marked in the parallel place, I Chronicles 21:26 : David called upon the Lord, and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt-offering.
The plague was stalled - Jerusalem did not share in the common calamity, seventy thousand being the whole that were slain throughout the land.
This book is unfinished, and requires I Chronicles 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, and 29, to complete it. A few things relative to this history may be found in the beginning of the following book; but the information in I Chronicles is much more extensive and satisfactory.
