18 Ce jour-là, Gad vint auprès de David, et lui dit: Monte, élève un autel à l’Éternel dans l’aire d’Aravna, le Jébusien.

19 David monta, selon la parole de Gad, comme l’Éternel l’avait ordonné.

20 Aravna regarda, et il vit le roi et ses serviteurs qui se dirigeaient vers lui; et Aravna sortit, et se prosterna devant le roi, le visage contre terre.

21 Aravna dit: Pourquoi mon seigneur le roi vient-il vers son serviteur? Et David répondit: Pour acheter de toi l’aire et pour y bâtir un autel à l’Éternel, afin que la plaie se retire de dessus le peuple.

22 Aravna dit à David: Que mon seigneur le roi prenne l’aire, et qu’il y offre les sacrifices qu’il lui plaira; vois, les bœufs seront pour l’holocauste, et les chars avec l’attelage serviront de bois.
