So David went up following Gad’s instructions, which he had spoken in the name of the Lord.
Then the angel of the Lord commanded Gad to tell David that he should go up and erect an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Ornan turned and saw the king, and while his four sons who were with him hid themselves, Ornan continued to thresh wheat.
His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
But get up and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do.”
