ARAUNAH (2Sa_24:18; called in 1Ch_21:15, 2Ch_31:1-21 Ornan).—A Jebusite who owned a threshing-floor on Mount Moriah. This spot was indicated by the prophet Gad as the place where an altar should he erected to J″ [Note: Jahweh.] , because the plague, which followed David’s numbering of the people, had been stayed. David bought the threshing-floor and oxen for 50 shekels of silver. The price paid is given in 1Ch_21:15 as 600 shekels of gold—a characteristic deviation from the earlier account.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible

ARAUNAH or OMAN. A Jebusite, at whose threshing floor the plague sent for numbering the people was, at David's intercession, stayed. Be offered the area as a site for Jehovah's altar, and only by constraint accepted David's pay (50 shekels of silver, 2Sa_24:18-24; 600 shekels of gold, 1Ch_21:25. As 50 silver shekels is far too low a price for the whole land, if there be no transcriber's error here, which is possible, probably the 50 silver shekels were paid for the small floor, the oxen, and wood of the yokes only; the 600 gold shekels for the whole hill on which David afterward built the temple). Contrast his kingly spirit, "Behold, here be oxen for burnt sacrifice and threshing instruments for wood," with the groveling excuse of the man invited to the king's banquet (Luk_14:19).
But compare Elisha's similar spirit when called of: God's prophet (1Ki_19:21). Self sacrifice raises one from degradation low as that of the accursed Jebusites to be in Israel a "king and a priest unto God" (compare 2Sa_24:23 with Exo_19:6; 1Pe_2:5; 1Pe_2:9; Rev_1:6; Rev_5:10; Rev_20:6). "These things did Araunah (as) a king give" hardly warrant the guess that he Was of the royal Jebusite race. Keil translates "all this giveth Araunah, O king, to the king," which suits the fact that Araunah gave it in intention, but his offer was not accepted (compare Mat_8:11-12; 1Co_1:27). Josephus (Ant. 7:13, sec. 9) says Araunah was one of David's chief friends, and spared by him when he took the citadel (v. 7). Probably he made his friendship when fleeing before Saul, when also he made that of Uriah the Hittite, Ittai the Gittite, etc.

a-rô?na (ארונה, 'ărawnāh, 2Sa_24:16, 2Sa_24:20; ארניה, 'ăranyāh 2Sa_24:18, and ארנן, 'ornān, 1Ch_21:15; 2Ch_3:1, all from a Hebrew root meaning ?to be strong?): A Jebusite from whom David at the request of the prophet Gad bought a threshing-floor located upon Mt. Moriah, as a site for an altar of the Lord at the time of the great plague (2Sa_24:15; 1Ch_21:15), upon which Solomon later erected the temple (2Ch_3:1).

Arau?nah, or Ornan, a man of the Jebusite nation, which possessed Jerusalem before it was taken by the Israelites. His threshing-floor was on Mount Moriah; and when he understood that it was required for the site of the Temple, he liberally offered the ground to David as a free gift; but the king insisted on paying the full value for it (2Sa_24:18; 1Ch_21:18).

Araunah
(Heb. Aravnah', אֲרִוְנָה, 2Sa_24:16-24 [2Sa_24:16 אֲוִרְנָה, 2Sa_24:18 אֲרִנְיָה, perhaps another form of Ornan; Sept. Ο᾿ρνά) or Or'nan (Heb. Ornan', אָרְנָן, nimble; 1 Chronicles 21; 2Ch_3:1; Sept. Ο᾿ρνα), a man of the Jebusite nation, which possessed Jerusalem before it was taken by the Israelites. The angel of pestilence, sent to punish King David for his presumptuous vanity in taking a census of the people, was stayed in the work of death near a plot of ground belonging to this person, used as a threshing-floor, and situated on Mount Moriah; and when he understood it was required for the site of the Temple, he liberally offered the ground to David as a free gift; but the king insisted on paying the full value for it (50 shekels of silver according to 2Sa_24:18, but 600 shekels of gold according to 1Ch_21:18). B.C. cir. 1017. SEE DAVID. Josephus, who calls him Oronna (Ο᾿ρόννα, Ant. 7, 13, 4), adds that he was a wealthy man among the Jebusites, whom David spared in the capture of the city on account of his good-will toward the Hebrews (Ant. 7, 3, 3). SEE MORIAH.
