2 Samuel 24:19-21

Darby Translation

¹⁹ And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as Jehovah had commanded.

²⁰ And Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming on towards him; and Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.

²¹ And Araunah said, Why is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshing-floor of thee, to build an altar to Jehovah, that the plague may be stayed from the people.
