2 Samuel 24:21-23

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²¹ Araunah said, “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?”

David replied, “To buy the threshing floor from you in order to build an altar to the Lord, so the plague on the people may be halted.”^(A)

²² Araunah said to David, “My lord the king may take whatever he wants^[a] and offer it. Here are the oxen for a burnt offering and the threshing sledges and ox yokes for the wood.^{(B) 23} My king, Araunah gives everything here to the king.” Then he said to the king, “May the Lord your God accept you.”
