Study
18 From the Book of 2 Samuel is: 2 Samuel 24
This
lesson brings us to the end of the book of 2 Samuel. Tomorrow, we
will dive into a brief excursion in the book of Psalms once again.
1.
(a) Compare the length of time taken by Joab to count, and by the
angel to slay the Israelites. (b) Compare the atonement required by
God for David's adultery ( 2 Sa. 12:15, 18) with that exacted here.
What sin on David's part is being dealt with? What two lessons are
taught about it? Cf. Pr. 16:5.
2.
Where was Araunah's threshing-floor? See Note on verse 16. What
outstanding event had happened there previously? See Gn. 22:2. What
was the site eventually used for?
3.
Is there a lesson for us in David's declaration of verse 24?
Note.
Verse 16. We learn from 2 Ch. 3:1 that Araunah's threshing-floor was
on Mount Moriah which became the site of the Temple.
