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 Naquele mesmo dia Gade foi dizer a Davi: “Vá e edifique um altar ao SENHOR na eira de Araúna, o jebuseu”.

19 Davi foi para lá, em obediência à ordem que Gade tinha dado em nome do SENHOR.

20 Quando Araúna viu o rei e seus soldados vindo ao encontro dele, saiu e prostrou-se perante o rei com o rosto em terra,

21 e disse: “Por que o meu senhor e rei veio ao teu servo?”Respondeu Davi: “Para comprar sua eira e edificar nela um altar ao SENHOR, para que cesse a praga no meio do povo”.

22 Araúna disse a Davi: “O meu senhor e rei pode ficar com o que desejar e oferecê-lo em sacrifício. Aqui estão os bois para o holocausto, e o debulhador e o jugo dos bois para a lenha.
