2 Samuel 24:19-21

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁹ So David obeyed the Lord's message that Gad had spoken to him.

²⁰ When Araunah looked, he saw the king and his officers. They were coming towards him. So he went out and he bent down low in front of the king, with his face towards the ground.

²¹ Araunah said, ‘My lord the king, why have you come here to me, your servant?’

David replied, ‘I have come to buy your threshing floor from you. I want to build an altar here to worship the Lord. Then he will stop this bad disease from killing the people.’
