2 Samuel 24:21 in Context — 2 Samuel 24
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.
23 Aravna donna le tout au roi. Et Aravna dit au roi: Que l’Éternel, ton Dieu, te soit favorable!
