    22Araunah told David,“My lord the king may take whatever he wishes and offer it. Look! Here are oxen for burnt offerings, and threshing sledges and harnesses for wood.

    23I, the servant of my lord the king, give it all to the king!” Araunah also told the king,“May the LORD your God show you favor!”
