2 Samuel 24:22

24:22 Araunah told David, “My lord the king may take whatever he wishes ¹  and offer it. Look! Here are oxen for burnt offerings, and threshing sledges ²  and harnesses ³  for wood.

2 Samuel 6:6

6:6 When they arrived at the threshing floor of Nacon, ⁴  Uzzah reached out and grabbed hold of ⁵  the ark of God, ⁶  because the oxen stumbled.

2 Samuel 17:22

17:22 So David and all the people who were with him got up and crossed the Jordan River. ⁷  By dawn there was not one person left who had not crossed the Jordan.

2 Samuel 24:24

24:24 But the king said to Araunah, “No, I insist on buying it from you! I will not offer to the Lord my God burnt sacrifices that cost me nothing.”

So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty pieces of silver. ⁸ 

[24:22]  ¹ tn Heb “what is good in his eyes.”

[24:22]  ² sn Threshing sledges were heavy boards used in ancient times for loosening grain from husks. On the bottom sides of these boards sharp stones were embedded, and the boards were then dragged across the grain on a threshing floor by an ox or donkey.

[24:22]  ³ tn Heb “the equipment of the oxen.”

[6:6]  ⁴ tn 1 Chr 13:9 has “Kidon.”

[6:6]  ⁵ tn Or “steadied.”

[6:6]  ⁶ tn Heb “and Uzzah reached out toward the ark of God and grabbed it.”

[17:22]  ⁷ tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text here or in v. 24, but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[24:24]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “fifty shekels of silver.” This would have been about 20 ounces (568 grams) of silver by weight.
