\verseNumber{9}And|strong="H0935" through|strong="H0935" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" tribes of|strong="H4428" Israel|strong="H3478" the|strong="H3605" people|strong="H5971" were|strong="H3478" having|strong="H4428" arguments, saying|strong="H0559", The|strong="H3605" king|strong="H4428" made|strong="H3605" us|strong="H5046" safe from|strong="H0935" the|strong="H3605" hands of|strong="H4428" those|strong="H3605" who|strong="H3605" were|strong="H3478" against|strong="H6440" us|strong="H5046" and|strong="H0935" made|strong="H3605" us|strong="H5046" free from|strong="H0935" the|strong="H3605" hands of|strong="H4428" the|strong="H3605" Philistines; and|strong="H0935" now|strong="H2009" he|strong="H0376" has|strong="H3478" gone|strong="H0935" in|strong="H3427" flight|strong="H5127" from|strong="H0935" the|strong="H3605" land|strong="H6440", because|strong="H6440" of|strong="H4428" Absalom.

\verseNumber{23}All|strong="H3605" this|strong="H3068" does|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3605" servant of|strong="H4428" my|strong="H3605" lord|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3605" king|strong="H4428" give|strong="H5414" to|strong="H0413" the|strong="H3605" king|strong="H4428". And|strong="H3068" Araunah|strong="H0728" said|strong="H0559", May|strong="H0430" the|strong="H3605" Lord|strong="H3068" your|strong="H3068" God|strong="H0430" be|strong="H3068" pleased|strong="H7521" with|strong="H0413" your|strong="H3068" offering|strong="H3068"! 
\verseNumber{24}And|strong="H3068" the|strong="H0853" king|strong="H4428" said|strong="H0559" to|strong="H0413" Araunah|strong="H0728", No|strong="H3808", but|strong="H3588" I|strong="H3588" will|strong="H3068" give|strong="H5927" you|strong="H3588" a|strong="H3588" price|strong="H3701" for|strong="H3588" it|strong="H3588"; I|strong="H3588" will|strong="H3068" not|strong="H3808" give|strong="H5927" to|strong="H0413" the|strong="H0853" Lord|strong="H3068" my|strong="H3068" God|strong="H0430" burned offerings|strong="H3068" for|strong="H3588" which|strong="H2600" I|strong="H3588" have|strong="H3068" given nothing|strong="H3808". So|strong="H3808" David|strong="H1732" got|strong="H5927" the|strong="H0853" grain-floor and|strong="H3068" the|strong="H0853" oxen|strong="H1241" for|strong="H3588" fifty|strong="H2572" shekels|strong="H8255" of|strong="H4428" silver|strong="H3701".
