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 Y Gad vino a David aquel día y le dijo: Sube, edifica un altar al SEÑOR en la era de Arauna jebuseo.
19 David subió conforme a la palabra de Gad, tal como el SEÑOR había ordenado.
20 Y Arauna miró y vio al rey y a sus siervos que venían hacia él; y saliendo Arauna, se postró rostro en tierra delante del rey.
21 Entonces Arauna dijo: ¿Por qué ha venido mi señor el rey a su siervo? Y David respondió: A comprarte la era para edificar un altar al SEÑOR a fin de detener la plaga del pueblo.
22 Y Arauna dijo a David: Tome y ofrezca mi señor el rey lo que parezca bien a sus ojos. Mira, los bueyes para el holocausto, y los trillos y los yugos de los bueyes para la leña.
