JFB: 2Sa 24:25 - David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings

There seem to have been two sacrifices; the first expiatory, the second a thanksgiving for the cessation of the pestilence (see on 1Ch 21:26).

Clarke: 2Sa 24:25 - David - offered burnt-offerings

David - offered burnt-offerings - And that these sacrifices were pleasing to the Lord, is evident from a circumstance marked in the parallel place, 1Ch 21:26 : David called upon the Lord, and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt-offering

Clarke: 2Sa 24:25 - The plague was stalled

The plague was stalled - Jerusalem did not share in the common calamity, seventy thousand being the whole that were slain throughout the land

Poole: 2Sa 24:25 - David built there an altar unto the Lord // Offered burnt-offerings // And peace-offerings // The Lord was entreated for the land

David built there an altar unto the Lord which he might well do, having God’ s command for it, and the place being sanctified by God’ s special presence in and by the angel.

Offered burnt-offerings to make atonement for his sins.

And peace-offerings to praise God for his gracious manifestation of himself.

The Lord was entreated for the land as appears both by fire from heaven, which consumed the sacrifice, as was usual in such cases; and by the speedy cessation of the plague.

Haydock: 2Sa 24:25 - Holocausts

Holocausts; a second time. The former victims had been consumed by fire from heaven, 1 Paralipomenon xxvi. 28. (Calmet)

Gill: 2Sa 24:25 - And David built there an altar unto the Lord // and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings // so the Lord was entreated for the land // and the plague was stayed from Israel

And David built there an altar unto the Lord,.... 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, 1Ch 21:26; 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.
