And I give an explanation for the reason, it became so that he "could no longer experience crushed by using being too sad." So the apostle did not want the person to be beaten by way of guilt that he might prevent looking for forgiveness.

He knew that the Law of Moses said that if a person stole a sheep, he need to deliver four sheep in reimbursement.

20. What does David's example educate us?

It teaches us that we are able to forestall being merciful if we allow ourselves to be carried away via anger and while our sense of right and wrong condemns us.
