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.

22 Y Arauna dijo á David: Tome y sacrifique mi señor el rey lo que bien le pareciere; he aquí bueyes para el holocausto; y trillos y otros pertrechos de bueyes para leña:
