2 Samuel 24:21-23

New International Version - UK

²¹ Araunah said, ‘Why has my lord the king come to his servant?’

‘To buy your threshing-floor,’ David answered, ‘so that I can build an altar to the Lord, that the plague on the people may be stopped.’

²² Araunah said to David, ‘Let my lord the king take whatever he wishes and offer it up. Here are oxen for the burnt offering, and here are threshing-sledges and ox yokes for the wood. ²³ Your Majesty, Araunah^[a] gives all this to the king.’ Araunah also said to him, ‘May the Lord your God accept you.’
