2Sa 24:20-21
When Aravnah saw the king coming up to him with his servants (ויּשׁקף, “he looked out,” viz., from the enclosure of the threshing-floor), he came out, bowed low even to the earth, and asked the king what was the occasion of his coming; whereupon David replied, “To buy the floor from thee, to build an altar to the Lord, that the plague may be turned away from the people.”
