David buys the threshing floor of Araunah and builds an altar to the LORD there

다윗이 아라우나의 타작마당을 사서 여호와를 위하여 단을 쌓음

2 Samuel 24:18–25: Gad comes that day to David and says to him, “Go up, build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.” David goes up according to the saying of Gad, as the LORD commanded; the LORD’s command is recorded only as Gad’s saying. Araunah looks out, and sees the king and his servants coming on toward him. Then Araunah goes out and bows himself before the king with his face to the ground. Araunah says, “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?” David says, “To buy your threshing floor, to build an altar to the LORD, that the plague may be stopped from afflicting the people.” Araunah says to David, “Let my lord the king take and offer up what seems good to him. Behold, the cattle for the burnt offering, and the threshing sledges and the yokes of the oxen for the wood. All this, O king, does Araunah give to the king.” Araunah says to the king, “May the LORD your God accept you.” The king says to Araunah, “No, but I will most certainly buy it from you for a price. I will not offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God which cost me nothing.” So David buys the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. David builds an altar to the LORD there, and offers burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD is entreated for the land, and the plague is removed from Israel. The Korean Revised Version names no one at the start of 24:21 (가로되, running on from Araunah in 24:20), has the king buy them at 24:24, and names no one at 24:25.
