"I'VE GOT TO DO BETTER"! 2 Samuel 24:18-25; v18; And Gad came that day to David, and said unto him, Go up, rear an altar unto the Lord in the threshingfloor of Araunah the Jebusite. Matthew 6:33; But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 2 Samuel 24:19; And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as the Lord commanded. v21; And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshingfloor of thee, to build an altar unto the Lord, that the plague may be stayed from the people. Luke 14:28; For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? 2 Samuel 24:22; And Araunah said unto David, Let my lord the king take and offer up what seemeth good unto him: behold, here be oxen for burnt sacrifice, and threshing instruments and other instruments of the oxen for wood. v23; All these things did Araunah, as a king, give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king, The Lord thy God accept thee. 2 Peter 1:20; Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 2 Samuel 24:24; And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the Lord my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. "I'VE GOT TO DO BETTER"! 2 Peter 1:21; For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. Psalm 127:1; Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. "I'VE GOT TO DO BETTER"! Proverbs 3:5; Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 2 Samuel 24:25; And David built there an altar unto the Lord, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the Lord was intreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel. "I'VE GOT TO DO BETTER"! Proverbs 3:6; In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 16:7; When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. 2 Corinthians 6:17; Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
