Why did Esau find no place of repentance for simply
selling his birthright while David found repentance for adultery and murder?
Repentance puts us back into fellowship with the Yahweh.
Why did Esau fail to find repentance for simply selling his birthright even though he sought it desperately with tears? Esau’s repentance was faulty because he did not understand true repentance. He was a profane fornicator (see Hebrews 12:16–17), and he simply wanted to regain the blessings that he had lost (see Genesis 25:33–34).
However, when David was confronted with his sin, he repented for the right reason. He wanted to restore fellowship with God. If we repent for any other reason than this we are not experiencing true repentance. (See Psalm 51.)
