Arauna preguntó: '¿Por qué ha venido mi señor el rey a visitar a su siervo?' David respondió: 'Quiero comprarte tu era para construir un altar al SEÑOR, para que esta plaga deje de afectar al pueblo.'
David quiso comprar la era de Arauna para construir un altar al SEÑOR y detener la plaga que afectaba al pueblo.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical narrative of 2 Samuel 24, King David had sinned by ordering a census of Israel, which was seen as an act of pride and distrust in God's provision, leading to a devastating plague sent by God as judgment. To atone for this sin and stop the plague, David was instructed by the prophet Gad to build an altar on the threshing floor of Araunah, a Jebusite owner of the land. When David approached Araunah to purchase the site, it highlighted the cultural practice of making personal sacrifices to seek God's mercy, emphasizing that true repentance involves giving from one's own resources.
