2 Samuel 24:17-19

Easy-to-Read Version

David Buys Araunah’s Threshing Floor

¹⁷ When he saw the angel who killed the people, David spoke to the Lord. David said, “I sinned! I did wrong! And these people only did what I told them—they only followed me like sheep. They did nothing wrong. Please let your punishment be against me and my father’s family.”

¹⁸ That day Gad came to David and said, “Go and build an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.” ¹⁹ So David did what Gad told him to. David did what the Lord wanted and went to see Araunah.
