2 Samuel24:23
23 All these things did Araunah, as a king , give unto the king: and Araunah said unto the king, The LORD thy God accept thee .
The Particle, as, being understood, as it oft is in the Hebrew: i. e. with a Royal bounty. Or, Araunah the king▪ as he might be called, either, because he was King of the Iebusites before David took their City: or, because he was the Son and Heir of that King.
He not onely offered, but actually gave them, i. e. he actually resigned his right and property in them unto David; for so he did; and David by his refusal returned it to Araunah again.
He was a Iebusite by Nation, but an hearty Proselyte: which made him so liberal in his offers to Gods service, and the common good of Gods people.
