What Does 1 Chronicles 21:19 Mean?
David acts at once. He goes up just as Gad had instructed, the word having been spoken "in the name of the LORD." The king who once overrode counsel now moves promptly in obedience to it.
Repentance bears fruit in changed action. Earlier David pressed his own word against Joab's; now he submits without hesitation to the word of God through His prophet. Obedience that follows confession proves the confession real. The truly humbled heart not only grieves its sin but rises to do whatever the Lord commands.
