2 Samuel 24:21-23

Common English Bible

²¹ Araunah said, “Why has my master and king come to his servant?”

David said, “To buy this threshing floor from you to build an altar to the Lord, so the plague among the people may come to an end.”

²² Then Araunah said to David, “Take it for yourself, and may my master the king do what he thinks is best. Here are oxen for the entirely burned offering, and here are threshing boards and oxen yokes for wood. ²³ All this, Your Majesty, Araunah gives to the king.” Then he added, “May the Lord your God respond favorably to you!”
