Word American Tract Society - Definition
ARAUNAH A Jebusite, residing on Mount Moriah after the Jebusites were dispossessed by David, 2Sa 5:6 24:18. In 1Co 16:24, he is called ORNAN. The divine choice of his land for the temple site, 2Ch 3:1, and his readiness to give it freely for this purpose, suggest the probability that he was a convert to the true religion.
