10:024:015 So the lord sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning
           even to the time appointed:  and there died of the people from
           Dan even to Beersheba seventy thousand men.

10:024:016 And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to
           destroy it, the lord repented him of the evil, and said to the
           angel that destroyed the people, It is enough:  stay now thine
           hand.  And the angel of the lord was by the threshingplace of
           Araunah the Jebusite.

10:024:017 And David spake unto the lord 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.

10:024:018 And Gad came that day to David, and said unto him, Go up, rear
           an altar unto the lord in the threshingfloor of Araunah the
           Jebusite.

10:024:019 And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as the lord
           commanded.

10:024:020 And 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.

10:024:021 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.

10:024:022 And Araunah said unto David, Let my lord the king take and
           offer up what seemeth good unto him:  behold, here be oxen for
           burnt sacrifice, and threshing instruments and other
           instruments of the oxen for wood.

10:024:023 All these things did Araunah, as a king, give unto the king. 
           And Araunah said unto the king, The lord thy God accept thee.

10:024:024 And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it
           of thee at a price:  neither will I offer burnt offerings unto
           the lord my God of that which doth cost me nothing.  So David
           bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of
           silver.

10:024:025 And David built there an altar unto the lord, and offered
           burnt offerings and peace offerings.  So the lord was intreated
           for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.

Book 11 1 Kings

11:001:001 Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered
           him with clothes, but he gat no heat.

11:001:002 Wherefore his servants said unto him, Let there be sought for
           my lord the king a young virgin:  and let her stand before the
           king, and let her cherish him, and let her lie in thy bosom,
           that my lord the king may get heat.
