SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:25
Y edificó allí David un altar al SEÑOR, y sacrificó holocaustos y pacíficos; y el SEÑOR se aplacó con la tierra, y cesó la plaga de Israel.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 24:25
Verse 25. David-offered burnt-offerings] And that these sacrifices were pleasing to the Lord, is evident from a circumstance marked in the parallel place, 1 Chron. xxi. x16: 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 1 Chronicles22, 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 1 Chroniclesis much more extensive and satisfactory.
MASORETIC NOTES ON THE TWO BOOKS OF SAMUEL
IN the time of the Masoretes the two books of Samuel were considered but as one, and thus divided:- Number of verses in these two books, 1506.
Number of Masoretic sections, 34.
The middle verse is 1 Sam. xxviii. 24: And the woman had a fat calf in the house, and she hasted and killed it, and took flour and kneaded it, and did bake unleavened bread thereof.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 25. And David built there an altar unto the Lord , etc.] After he had made the purchase: and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings ; the one to expiate the sin or sins committed, the other to give thanks for the intimation given, that the plague would be stayed upon this: so the Lord was entreated for the land ; was pacified and prevailed upon to remove the pestilence from it; which was signified by fire descending upon the altar of burnt offering, which showed the sacrifice was accepted, and by the angel being ordered to put his sword into its sheath, ( 1 Chronicles 21:26,27); and the Targum is, “and the Lord received the prayer of the inhabitants of the land:” and the plague was stayed from Israel ; no more died of the pestilence, either at Jerusalem, or in any other part of the land Israel.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 18-25 - God's encouraging us to offer to him spiritual sacrifices, is a evidence of his reconciling us to himself. David purchased the groun to build the altar. God hates robbery for burnt-offering. Those know not what religion is, who chiefly care to make it cheap and easy to themselves, and who are best pleased with that which costs them leas pains or money. For what have we our substance, but to honour God with it; and how can it be better bestowed? See the building of the altar and the offering proper sacrifices upon it. Burnt-offerings to the glory of God's justice; peace-offerings to the glory of his mercy Christ is our Altar, our Sacrifice; in him alone we may expect to escape his wrath, and to find favour with God. Death is destroying all around, in so many forms, and so suddenly, that it is madness not to expect and prepare for the close of life __________________________________________________________________
