*
And Gad came that day to David ,
and said to him ,
Go up ,
raise an altar to the LORD in the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite .
*
And David ,
according to the saying of Gad ,
went up as the LORD commanded .
*
And Araunah looked ,
and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him :
and Araunah went out ,
and bowed himself before the king on his face on the ground .
*
And Araunah said ,
Why is my lord the king come to his servant ?
And David said ,
To buy the threshing floor of you ,
to build an altar to the LORD ,
that the plague may be stayed from the people .
*
And Araunah said to David ,
Let my lord the king take and offer up what seems good to him :
behold ,
here be oxen for burnt sacrifice ,
and threshing instruments and other instruments of the oxen for wood .
*
All these things did Araunah ,
as a king ,
give to the king .
And Araunah said to the king ,
The LORD your God accept you .
*
And the king said to Araunah ,
No ;
but I will surely buy it of you at a price :
neither will I offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God of that which does cost me nothing .
So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver .
*
And David built there an altar to the LORD ,
and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings .
So the LORD was entreated for the land ,
and the plague was stayed from Israel .
