    All seven cited verses use the form as a proper noun for the man whose threshing floor is mentioned in the narrative. In 2 Samuel 24:16 and 2 Samuel 24:18 the APB renders the place as “the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite”; in 2 Samuel 24:21 and 2 Samuel 24:24 it presents David’s request and purchase from him.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB consistently presents the name as “Araunah,” both in references to his threshing floor and in direct interaction with David. Its English wording confirms the narrative setting rather than supplying a separate lexical rendering.
