1 Chronicles 21:20 In-Context

18 The angel of the Lord told Gad to command David to go and build an altar to the Lord at Araunah's threshing place.

19 David obeyed the Lord's command and went, as Gad had told him to.

20 There at the threshing place Araunah and his four sons were threshing wheat, and when they saw the angel, the sons ran and hid.

21 As soon as Araunah saw King David approaching, he left the threshing place and bowed low, with his face touching the ground.

22 David said to him, "Sell me your threshing place, so that I can build an altar to the Lord, to stop the epidemic. I'll give you the full price."
