2 Samuel 24:23-25
English Standard Version
23 All this, O king, Araunah gives to the king.” And Araunah said to the king, “May the Lord your God (A)accept you.” 24 But the king said to Araunah, “No, but I will buy it from you for a price. I will not offer burnt offerings to the Lord my God that cost me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels[a] of silver. 25 And David built there an altar to the Lord and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. (B)So the Lord responded to the plea for the land, and the plague was averted from Israel.
