*
And Gad came in to David on that day and said to him ,
Go up ,
raise up an altar to Jehovah in the threshingfloor of Araunah the Jebusite .
*
And David went up according to Gad '
s word ,
as Jehovah commanded .
*
And Araunah looked and saw the king and his servants crossing over to him .
And Araunah went out and bowed himself to the king ,
his face to the earth .
*
And Araunah said ,
Why has my lord the king come to his servant ?
And David said ,
To buy the threshing-floor from you ,
in order to build an altar to Jehovah ;
and the plague will be stayed from the people .
*
And Araunah said to David ,
Let my lord the king take and offer up that which is good in his eyes .
Behold ,
the oxen for a burnt offering ,
and the threshing instruments ,
and the yokes of the oxen for wood .
*
O king ,
all these Araunah gives to the king .
And Araunah said to the king ,
May Jehovah your God accept you .
*
And the king said to Araunah ,
No ,
for I will surely buy from you for a price ,
and I will not offer to Jehovah my God burnt offerings for nothing .
And David bought the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver .
*
And David built an altar there to Jehovah ,
and offered burnt offering and peace offerings .
And Jehovah was entreated for the land ;
and the plague was stayed from Israel .
