Context of 2 Samuel 24:19
17And David spake unto Yhwh when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father’s house. 18And Gad came that day to David, and said unto him, Go up, rear an altar unto Yhwh in the threshingfloor of Araunah the Jebusite. And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as Yhwh commanded. 20And Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him: and Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king on his face upon the ground. 21And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshingfloor of thee, to build an altar unto Yhwh, that the plague may be stayed from the people.
