2 SAMUEL 24:21

og Aravna sagde: “Hvorfor kommer min Herre Kongen til sin Træl?” David svarede: “For at købe Tærskepladsen af dig og bygge HERREN et Alter, at Folket må blive friet fra Plagen!”

And 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 the LORD, that the plague may be stayed from the people.
