18. Then the angel of the lord told Gad to instruct David to go up and build an altar to the lord on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
19. So David went up to do what the lord had commanded him through Gad.
20. Araunah, who was busy threshing wheat at the time, turned and saw the angel there. His four sons, who were with him, ran away and hid.
21. When Araunah saw David approaching, he left his threshing floor and bowed before David with his face to the ground.
