As we read this story we are fascinated about How Christ overcame sin and death for us and How he fights the battle against sin and death for us today.

Graeme Goldsworthy, Gospel and Kingdom:

 Goldsworthy paints a picture of David standing alone as the one in the place of many, and through him God works salvation for Israel. He writes, "It is a saving event in which the chosen mediator wins the victory, while the ordinary people stand by until they can share in the fruits of the saviors' victory. Preparation is thus made for the gospel events in which God's Christ (Anointed One) wins the victory over sin and death on behalf of his people." (86)
