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.
