19. And David ascended in accord with the word of Gad, which the Lord had commanded to him.
20. And looking out, Araunah turned his attention to the king and his servants, passing toward him.
21. And going out, he adored the king, lying prone with his face to the ground, and he said, "What is the reason that my lord the king has come to his servant?" And David said to him, "So as to purchase the threshing floor from you, and to build an altar to the Lord, and to quiet the plague that rages among the people."
22. And Araunah said to David: "May my lord the king offer and accept whatever is pleasing to him. You have oxen for a holocaust, and the cart and the yokes of the oxen to use for wood."
23. All these things Araunah gave, as a king to a king. And Araunah said to the king, "May the Lord your God accept your vow."
