2 Samuel 24:20-22

Easy-to-Read Version

²⁰ Araunah looked and saw King David and his officers coming to him. Araunah went out and bowed his face to the ground. ²¹ He said, “Why has my lord and king come to me?”

David answered, “I came to buy the threshing floor from you. Then I can build an altar to the Lord. Then the disease will stop.”

²² Araunah said to David, “My lord and king, you can take anything you want for a sacrifice. Here are some oxen for the burnt offering, and the threshing boards and the yokes for the wood.
