2 Samuel 24:18-25

CLV(i) 18 And Gad comes in unto David on that day, and said to him, `Go up, raise to Yahweh an altar in the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite;. 19 and David goes up, according to the word of Gad, as Yahweh commanded. 20 And Araunah looks, and sees the king and his servants passing over unto him, and Araunah goes out and bows himself to the king--his face to the earth. 21 And Araunah said, `Wherefore has my lord the king come unto his servant?' and David said, `To buy from you the threshing-floor, to build an altar to Yahweh, and the plague is restrained from the people.. 22 And Araunah said unto David, `Let my lord the king take and cause to ascend that which is good in his eyes; see, the oxen for a burnt-offering, and the threshing instruments, and the instruments of the oxen, for wood;. 23 the whole has Araunah given, [as] a king to a king; and Araunah said unto the king, `Yahweh your Elohim does accept you.. 24 And the king said unto Araunah, `Nay, for I do surely buy from you for a price, and I do not cause to ascend to Yahweh my Elohim burnt-offerings for nought;' and David buys the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver, 25 and David builds there an altar to Yahweh, and causes to ascend burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and Yahweh is entreated for the land, and the plague is restrained from Israel.
