2 Samuel 24:19 In-Context

17 When David saw the angel about to destroy the people, he prayed, "Please! I'm the one who sinned; I, the shepherd, did the wrong. But these sheep, what did they do wrong? Punish me and my family, not them."

18 That same day Gad came to David and said, "Go and build an altar on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite."

19 David did what Gad told him, what God commanded.

20 Araunah looked up and saw David and his men coming his way; he met them, bowing deeply, honoring the king

21 and saying, "Why has my master the king come to see me?" "To buy your threshing floor," said David, "so I can build an altar to God here and put an end to this disaster."
