18
So the angel of the Lord ordered Gad to tell David to go and set up an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
19
David went up at Gad's command spoken in the name of the Lord.
20
Ornan was threshing wheat when he turned and saw the angel. His four sons, who were with him, hid themselves.
21
David came to Ornan, and when Ornan looked and saw David, he left the threshing floor and bowed to David with his face to the ground.
22
Then David said to Ornan, "Give me this threshing-floor plot so that I may build an altar to the Lord on it. Give it to me for the full price, so the plague on the people may be halted."
