1 Chronicles 21:20 In-Context

18 The angel of God ordered Gad to tell David to go and build an altar to God on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
19 David did what Gad told him in obedience to God's command.
20 Meanwhile Araunah had quit threshing the wheat and was watching the angel; his four sons took cover and hid.
21 David came up to Araunah. When Araunah saw David, he left the threshing floor and bowed deeply before David, honoring the king.
22 David said to Araunah, "Give me the site of the threshing floor so I can build an altar to God. Charge me the market price; we're going to put an end to this disaster."
