2 Samuel 24:19-21

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁹ So David went up according to Gad’s word, as the Lord commanded.

²⁰ Araunah looked and saw the king and his servants coming toward him; and [he] went out and bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.

²¹ Araunah said, Why has my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshing floor from you, to build there an altar to the Lord, that the plague may be stayed from the people.
