1 Chronicles 21:20 In-Context

18 Then the angel of the LORD ordered Gad to tell David to go up and build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

19 So David went up at the word that Gad had spoken in the name of the LORD.

20 Now Ornan was threshing wheat when he turned and saw the angel; and his four sons who were with him hid themselves.

21 David came to Ornan, and when Ornan looked out and saw David, he left the threshing floor and bowed facedown before David.

22 Then David said to Ornan, “Grant me the site of this threshing floor, that I may build an altar to the LORD. Sell it to me for the full price, so that the plague upon the people may be halted.”
