He left the threshing place and bowed low with his face touching the ground. David said to him: Sell me your threshing place so that I can build an altar to Jehovah, to stop the epidemic. I will give you the full price. Take it, Your Majesty, Araunah said, and do whatever you wish. Here are these bulls to burn as an offering on the altar.
