2 Samuel 24:23-25

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²³ My king, Araunah gives everything here to the king.” Then he said to the king, “May the Lord your God accept you.”

²⁴ The king answered Araunah, “No, I insist on buying it from you for a price, for I will not offer to the Lord my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing.” David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for 20 ounces^[a] of silver. ²⁵ He built an altar to the Lord there and offered burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. Then the Lord answered prayer on behalf of the land,^(A) and the plague on Israel ended.
