What Does 2 Samuel 12:29 Mean?
David answers the call. He gathers all the people, marches to Rabbah, fights, and takes it. The king is back where he belongs, at the head of Israel's armies in the field.
The contrast with the chapter's beginning is striking. David's fall started when he lingered at home while others fought; his restoration is marked by his return to the field. Repentance is not only sorrow for the past but a stepping back into faithful duty. The forgiven king takes up again the work he set down, and God grants him the victory.
