mkjv@2Samuel:24:19 @ And David went up, according to the saying of Gad, as the LORD commanded.

mkjv@2Samuel:24:20 @ And Araunah looked and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him. And Araunah went out and bowed before the king, his face to the ground.

mkjv@2Samuel:24:21 @ And Araunah said, Why has my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshing-floor from you, to build an altar to the LORD, so that the plague may be stayed from the people.

mkjv@2Samuel:24:22 @ And Araunah said to David, Let my lord the king take and offer up what [seems] good to him. Behold, oxen for burnt sacrifice, and threshing instruments, and instruments of the oxen for wood.

mkjv@2Samuel:24:23 @ All these Araunah, like a king, gave to the king. And Araunah said to the king, May the LORD your God accept you.

mkjv@2Samuel:24:24 @ And the king said to Araunah, No, but I will surely buy from you at a price. And I will not offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God [of that which costs me] nothing. And David bought the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

mkjv@2Samuel:24:25 @ And David built there an altar to the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. And the LORD was entreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
