Alex: "So, what have you been up to lately?"

Contestant: "Well, I've been studying the Bible and I recently read 2 Samuel 24."

Alex: [Sighs] "Oh, great. What does this chapter have to do with anything?"

Contestant: "Well, in 2 Samuel 24, God commands David to take a census of the people of Israel and Judah. David agrees to do so, but he later realizes that this was wrong and he repents. As a punishment, God sends a plague on Israel that kills 70,000 people."

Alex: [Rolls eyes] "Can we talk about something else now, please?"

Contestant: "But wait, there's more! God tells David to build an altar on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite. David buys the threshing floor and builds the altar, and God stops the plague."

Alex: [Groans] "Seriously, can we talk about something else now? I'm getting tired of hearing about the Bible all the time!"

Contestant: "That's all for 2 Samuel 24. So, what do you think about the weather lately?"
