2 Samuel 24:20 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 24:20

And Araunah looked
Peeped up out of the place in which he had hid himself with his four sons, for fear of the angel, and which they saw, ( 1 Chronicles 21:20 ) ;

and saw the king and his servants coming towards him;
he perceived, by the course they steered, that they were coming to him:

and Araunah went out;
of the threshingfloor, out of the place where he had hid himself, for he had been threshing wheat, ( 1 Chronicles 21:20 ) ; nor was it thought below great personages in those times to be employed in such work; so Gideon was threshing, when the angel of the Lord appeared to him, ( Judges 6:11 Judges 6:12 ) ; Boaz winnowed barley in his threshingfloor, ( Ruth 3:2 ) ;

and bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground;
in reverence of the king.

2 Samuel 24:20 In-Context

18 Naquele mesmo dia veio Gade a Davi, e lhe disse: Sobe, levanta ao Senhor um altar na eira de Araúna, o jebuseu:

19 Subiu, pois, Davi, conforme a palavra de Gade, como o Senhor havia ordenado.

20 E olhando Araúna, viu que vinham ter com ele o rei e os seus servos; saiu, pois, e inclinou-se diante do rei com o rosto em terra.

21 Perguntou Araúna: Por que vem o rei meu senhor ao seu servo? Respondeu Davi: Para comprar de ti a eira, a fim de edificar nela um altar ao Senhor, para que a praga cesse de sobre o povo.

22 Então disse Araúna a Davi: Tome e ofereça o rei meu senhor o que bem lhe parecer; eis aí os bois para o holocausto, e os trilhos e os aparelhos dos bois para lenha.
