Although David sinned, he always repented and then got on with living for God. In disobedience to the Law, he numbered the fighting men of Israel, and 70,000 people died as a result. David repented and offered a sacrifice, which was accepted with fire from heaven. Following God’s instructions, he began acquiring materials for the Temple and writing down detailed plans for his successor, Solomon, to follow.
