2 Samuel 24:21 267 2 Samuel 24:25

ground, 21 And Araunah said, Wherefore is my
lord the King come to his seruant? Then Dauid
answered, To bye the threshing floore of thee for
to builde an altar vnto the Lord, that the plague
may cease from the people. 22 Then Araunah
saide vnto Dauid, Let my lord the King take and
offer what seemeth him good in his eyes: beholde
the oxen for the burnt offring, and charets, and
the instruments of the oxen for wood. 23 (All
these things did Araunah as a King giue vnto
the King: and Araunah saide vnto the King, The
Lord thy God be fauourable vnto thee) 24 Then
the King saide vnto Araunah, Not so, but I will
bye it of thee at a price, and will not offer burnt
offring vnto ye Lord my God of that which doeth
cost me nothing. So Dauid bought the threshing
floore, and the oxen for fiftie shekels of siluer.
25 And Dauid built there an altar vnto the Lord,
and offred burnt offrings and peace offrings, and
the Lord was appeased toward ye lande, and the
plague ceased from Israel.
