A Remedy for a famine is here set before us. Such a remedy as removed the famine where it was used. For it is said, aAfter that, God was entreated for the land: that is, such satisfaction being made for the sin which provoked Gods wrath, and brought the famine upon the land, Gods wrath was appeased, and thereupon the famine removed. bThe word translated, entreated, signifieth, by entreaty to ⟨p. 130⟩be moved to do what is desired. Now David besought the Lord, to remove that famine, and God granted his desire.
