    18And Gad came that day to David, and said to him, Go up, erect an altar to the LORD in the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

    19And David, according to the word of Gad, went up as the LORD commanded.

    20And Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming toward him: and Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.

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

    22And Araunah said to David, Let my lord the king take and offer up whatever seems good to him: behold, here are oxen for burnt sacrifice, and threshing instruments and other instruments of the oxen for wood.

    23All these things Araunah, as a king, gave to the king. And Araunah said to the king, May the LORD your God accept you.

    24And the king said to Araunah, No; but I will surely buy it from you at a price: nor will I offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God of that which costs me nothing. So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

    18Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David that David should go up and build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

    20And Ornan turned and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.

    21As David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out from the threshing floor, and bowed to David with his face to the ground.

    22Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of this threshing floor, that I may build an altar there to the LORD; you shall grant it to me for the full price: that the plague may be stopped from the people.

    23And Ornan said to David, Take it for yourself, and let my lord the king do what is good in his eyes: see, I give the oxen also for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the grain offering; I give it all.
