1 Chronicles 21:20-22
New English Translation

20 While Ornan was threshing wheat, he turned and saw the messenger, and he and his four sons hid themselves. 21 When David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David; he came out from the threshing floor and bowed to David with his face[a] to the ground. 22 David said to Ornan, “Sell me the threshing floor[b] so I can build[c] on it an altar for the Lord—I’ll pay top price[d]—so that the plague may be removed[e] from the people.”
