19. Gad told David this, and David went to Araunah’s threshing floor.
20. Araunah was threshing the wheat. He turned around and saw the angel. His four sons ran away to hide.
21. David walked up the hill to Araunah. Araunah saw him and left the threshing floor. He walked to David and bowed with his face to the ground in front of him.
22. David said to Araunah, “Sell me your threshing floor. I will pay you the full price. Then I can use the area to build an altar to worship the Lord. Then the terrible sicknesses will be stopped.”
