It took me about 20 minutes to read through this passage. The last chapter recounts a situation where David chose to follow a path of error and count the number of fighting men in Israel. When God told David of his sin the king was given three choices to make; all of which punished the people he ruled. In 24:14 David threw himself on the mercy of God. A mercy through which he had received mercy and grace numerous times. It was because of this act of surrender that David was shown the place where God would make his name dwell; the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
