2 Samuel 24:18-20

New International Reader's Version

David Builds an Altar

¹⁸ On that day Gad went to David. Gad said to him, “Go up to the threshing floor of Araunah, the Jebusite. Build an altar there to honor the Lord.” ¹⁹ So David went up and did it. He did what the Lord had commanded through Gad. ²⁰ Araunah looked and saw the king and his officials coming toward him. So he went out to welcome them. He bowed down to the king with his face toward the ground.
