2 Samuel 24:19-21

New King James Version

¹⁹ So David, according to the word of Gad, went up as the Lord commanded. ²⁰ Now Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming toward him. So Araunah went out and bowed before the king with his face to the ground.

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

^(A)And David said, “To buy the threshing floor from you, to build an altar to the Lord, that ^(B)the plague may be withdrawn from the people.”
