2 Samuel 24:23-25

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²³ All this, O king, Araunah gives to the king. And Araunah said to the king, The Lord your God accept you.

²⁴ But King David said to Araunah, No, but I will buy it of you for a price. I will not offer burnt offerings to the Lord my God of that which costs me nothing. So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

²⁵ David built there an altar to the Lord and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the Lord heeded the prayers for the land, and Israel’s plague was stayed.
