1 Chronicles 21:21 In-Context

19 So David went up, following the instructions Gad had delivered in the LORD's name.
20 Ornan turned around and saw the king. His four sons who were with him hid themselves, but Ornan continued threshing wheat.
21 When David approached Ornan, Ornan looked up, recognized David, left the threshing floor, and bowed to David with his face to the ground.
22 David said to Ornan, "Give me the site of the threshing floor, charging me full price, so that I may build an altar to the LORD, and the plague among the people may come to an end."
23 Ornan replied to David, "Take it for yourself, and may my master the king do what he thinks is best. I'll even provide the oxen for the entirely burned offerings, the threshing boards for wood, and the wheat for the grain offering—I'll provide everything!"
