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.

Verse 21 is found in chapter 24 of 2 Samuel. Gad orders David to build an altar on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite. Araunah offers the site and animals freely, but David insists on paying because he does not want to offer the Lord something that costs him nothing. David builds the altar and offers sacrifices, after which the plague stops. The book ends with judgment and mercy united: the king’s sin produces national consequences, but repentance, intercession, and sacrifice lead again toward reconciliation with God.
