2 Samuel 24:23-25

International Children’s Bible

²³ My king, I give everything to you!” Araunah also said to the king, “May the Lord your God be pleased with you!”

²⁴ But the king answered Araunah, “No. I will pay you for the land. I won’t offer to the Lord my God burnt offerings which cost me nothing!”

So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for one and one-fourth pounds of silver. ²⁵ Then he built an altar to the Lord there. And he offered whole burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. Then the Lord answered his prayer for the country. And the disease in Israel stopped.
