1 Chron. 21, 2 Chron. 5; 6
David is convicted, brought to hope, established in the sense of deliverance. Affections suited to these conditions mark his spirit. But when established, he is as personally devoted as when hoping (21:4, and 22, 29), and this is beautiful. Also, when established, he holds to the place consecrated by redemption. (21:28-30). These two points appear still in souls brought where David was.
Solomon was introduced to further truths, as God's delight in grace, and in the bold faith which enjoys it; for the glory fills the house, where mercy was rejoicing, and where the people were triumphing in it. Solomon accepts it, and seems as one overwhelmed at this disclosure of divine joy.
