²² Then Araunah said to David, “Let my lord the king take and offer up what seems good to him. Here are the oxen for the burnt offering and the ^(A)threshing sledges and the yokes of the oxen for the wood.

²¹ And he returned from following him and took the yoke of oxen and sacrificed them and boiled their flesh ^(A)with the yokes of the oxen and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he arose and went after Elijah and assisted him.

¹⁴ The cart came into the field of Joshua of Beth-shemesh and stopped there. ^(A)A great stone was there. And they split up the wood of the cart and offered the cows as a burnt offering to the Lord.

²² And David said to Ornan, “Give me the site of the threshing floor that I may build on it an altar to the Lord—give it to me at its full price—that the plague may be averted from the people.”

¹¹ “No, my lord, hear me: I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it. In the sight of the sons of my people I give it to you. Bury your dead.”
