He is best known for his interaction with David during the purchase of his threshing floor, which later became the site for Solomon's Temple. Araunah is depicted as a Jebusite, a group of people who originally inhabited Jerusalem before its conquest by the Israelites.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b> <br>The primary account of Araunah is found in <a href="/bsb/2_samuel/24.htm">2 Samuel 24</a> and <a href="/bsb/1_chronicles/21.htm">1 Chronicles 21</a>. These passages describe a pivotal moment in Israel's history when King David, having sinned by conducting a census of the people, seeks to avert God's wrath by building an altar.<br><br><b><a href="/2_samuel/24-18.htm">2 Samuel 24:18-25</a> :</b> <br>In this passage, the prophet Gad instructs David to build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite. Araunah, upon seeing the king and his servants approaching, goes out to meet them and offers the threshing floor, along with oxen for burnt offerings and threshing sledges for wood, at no cost. David insists on purchasing the site, stating, "I will not offer to the LORD my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing." David buys the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver, builds an altar, and offers sacrifices. The LORD responds to the plea for the land, and the plague on Israel is halted.<br><br><b><a href="/1_chronicles/21-18.htm">1 Chronicles 21:18-30</a> :</b> <br>This parallel account provides additional details, including the price of the site being six hundred shekels of gold. The narrative emphasizes David's repentance and the importance of sacrificial offerings. The site of Araunah's threshing floor is later identified as the location for the construction of the Temple by Solomon, as noted in <a href="/2_chronicles/3.htm">2 Chronicles 3:1</a>.<br><br><b>Historical and Theological Significance:</b> <br>Araunah's interaction with David is significant for several reasons. First, it highlights the importance of sacrificial offerings in the Old Testament as a means of atonement and reconciliation with God. David's insistence on paying for the threshing floor underscores the principle that true worship involves personal cost and sacrifice.<br><br>Second, the location of Araunah's threshing floor holds profound historical and theological importance. It is traditionally identified with Mount Moriah, the site where Abraham was prepared to offer Isaac (Genesis 22). This connection underscores the continuity of God's redemptive plan throughout biblical history.<br><br>Finally, the purchase of the threshing floor and the subsequent cessation of the plague demonstrate God's mercy and the efficacy of genuine repentance. David's actions serve as a model of leadership and devotion, illustrating the necessity of obedience and humility before God.<br><br><b>Cultural Context:</b> <br>Araunah, as a Jebusite, represents the indigenous population of Jerusalem prior to its capture by David. His willingness to offer his property to the king reflects the complex relationships between the Israelites and the remaining Canaanite populations. The narrative suggests a level of respect and cooperation between Araunah and David, highlighting the potential for peaceful coexistence and mutual benefit.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>The account of Araunah and his threshing floor is a pivotal moment in the biblical narrative, linking the themes of sacrifice, repentance, and divine mercy. It sets the stage for the establishment of the Temple, a central place of worship for the Israelites, and foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who fulfills the sacrificial system through His atoning death.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Araunah</span><p>ark; song; joyful cry<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Araunah</span><p>(<i>ark</i>), a Jebusite who sold his threshing floor on Mount Moriah to David as a site for an altar to Jehovah, together with his oxen.
