What Does 2 Samuel 24:20 Mean?
Araunah, working at his threshing floor, looks up and sees the king and his servants coming toward him. He goes out and bows himself before David, his face to the ground, in the posture of deep respect for the sovereign who has come to him.
A quiet meeting unfolds between a king and a humble landowner, a Jebusite dwelling among Israel. Araunah's reverence sets the scene for an exchange that will reveal the heart of true worship.
