When Araunah looked out and saw the king and his servants coming toward him
Araunah, a Jebusite, owned a threshing floor on Mount Moriah, a significant location in biblical history. This site is traditionally associated with Abraham's near-sacrifice of Isaac and later becomes the location of Solomon's Temple. The presence of King David signifies a moment of divine intervention, as David seeks to purchase the threshing floor to build an altar to the Lord, halting a plague on Israel. The king's approach indicates a moment of significant importance, as David's actions are directed by God to atone for his earlier sin of conducting a census of Israel.

he went out and bowed facedown before the king
Araunah's response reflects the cultural norms of the time, showing deep respect and submission to authority. Bowing facedown was a common gesture of reverence and acknowledgment of the king's sovereignty. This act of humility is significant, as it demonstrates Araunah's recognition of David's authority and possibly his understanding of the spiritual significance of the moment. This encounter foreshadows the ultimate submission to Christ, the King of Kings, who would later fulfill the law and the prophets. Araunah's willingness to offer his threshing floor and oxen for sacrifice without cost also prefigures the sacrificial system that points to Jesus' ultimate sacrifice for humanity's sins.

What Does 2 Samuel 24:20 Mean
When Araunah looked out

“Then Araunah looked out” (2 Samuel 24:20).

• David has just approached Araunah’s threshing floor after hearing God’s command to build an altar there (2 Samuel 24:18–19).

• Araunah’s simple act of looking up shows the Lord’s providence in bringing king and subject together at the exact place God had chosen, echoing moments when people “looked up” and saw God’s provision—such as Abraham lifting his eyes to see the ram inGenesis 22:13 or the disciples seeing Jesus walking on the sea inMark 6:48–50.

• The setting is public and visible; nothing about David’s repentance or God’s mercy is hidden. LikePsalm 34:5, “Those who look to Him are radiant,” Araunah’s first glimpse begins a story of grace that many will witness.

and saw the king and his servants coming toward him

• Araunah recognizes David not alone but surrounded by servants, underscoring David’s royal authority (1 Samuel 18:16).

• Yet the sight also reminds us that authority carries responsibility; David comes to atone for sin that has brought judgment on the people (2 Samuel 24:15–17).

• Compare the respectful approach in1 Kings 1:43–48 when royalty appears and servants attend; the entourage signals a serious, official matter.

• God’s sovereignty is highlighted: He directs both king and commoner for His redemptive purpose, asProverbs 21:1 affirms, “The king’s heart is a watercourse in the hand of the LORD.”

he went out

• Araunah acts immediately; he doesn’t wait for the king to summon him. His initiative mirrors Abigail’s proactive move toward David in1 Samuel 25:23.

• Obedience is shown in swift responsiveness, a trait extolled inPsalm 119:60, “I hurried and did not delay to keep Your commandments.”

• The threshing floor, a place of work, becomes a place of worship, demonstrating that any ordinary setting can become holy ground when God steps in (Exodus 3:5).

and bowed facedown before the king

• Bowing with face to the ground illustrates profound reverence for God-ordained authority (Romans 13:1).

• The posture resembles Mephibosheth’s humility before David in2 Samuel 9:6 and the Magi before the child Jesus inMatthew 2:11.

• Respecting David as king also honors the LORD who anointed him (1 Samuel 16:13). Araunah’s submission paves the way for the sacrificial offering that will stop the plague, pointing ahead to Christ, the ultimate King whose sacrifice halts judgment for all who bow before Him (Philippians 2:10–11).

summary

Araunah’s quick glance, recognition, approach, and humble bow reveal a heart ready to honor God’s chosen king. Each movement underscores divine orchestration, the seriousness of sin, and the necessity of humble submission. In this single verse the threshing floor is transformed into a stage for God’s mercy: a willing subject meets a repentant king, and together they participate in the gracious plan that points forward to the ultimate sacrifice of Christ.

(20)Saw the king.--Notthe angel,as in Chronicles, the words in Hebrew being much alike.

Verse 20. -Araunah... saw the king. In1 Chronicles 21:20, "saw the angel;" but the text there is apparently corrupt, the difference, moreover, in Hebrew between "king" and "angel" being very slight. The addition there of the story of Araunah's four sons hiding themselves is very lifelike and natural. For these remnants of the aborigines, though tolerated, yet held a very insecure position, as we have seen in the dealings of Saul with the Gibeonites; and the coming of the king with his retinue to the out of the way spot where Araunah was at work, no doubt filled them all with terror.
