bes@2Samuel:24:18 @ And Gad came to David in that day, and said to him, Go up, and set up to the Lord and altar in the threshing-floor of Orna the Jebusite.
bes@2Samuel:24:19 @ And David went up according to the word of Gad, as the Lord commanded him.
bes@2Samuel:24:20 @ And Orna (note:)Gr. stooped; See 1 Pe strkjv@1:12, also Joh strkjv@20:5(:note) looked out, and saw the king and his servants coming on before him: and Orna went forth, and did obeisance to the king with his face to the earth.
bes@2Samuel:24:21 @ And Orna said, Why has my lord the king come to his servant? and David said, To buy of thee the threshing-floor, in order to build an altar to the Lord that the plague may be restrained from off the people.
bes@2Samuel:24:22 @ And Orna said to David, Let my lord the king take and offer to the Lord that which is good in his eyes: behold, here are oxen for a whole-burnt-offering, and the wheels and furniture of the oxen for wood.
bes@2Samuel:24:23 @ Orna gave all to the king: and Orna said to the king, The Lord thy God bless thee.
bes@2Samuel:24:24 @ And the king said to Orna, Nay, but I will surely buy it of thee at a fair price, and I will not offer to the Lord my God a whole-burnt-offering for nothing. So David purchased the threshing-floor and the oxen for (note:)Gr. silver of fifty shekels(:note) fifty shekels of silver.
bes@2Samuel:24:25 @ And David built there an altar to the Lord, and offered up whole-burnt-offerings and peace-offerings: and Solomon made an addition to the altar afterwards, for it was little at first. And the Lord hearkened to the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
