2 Samuel 24:23-25
Legacy Standard Bible
23 Everything, O king, Araunah gives to the king.” And Araunah said to the king, “May Yahweh your God (A)accept you.” 24 However, the king said to Araunah, “No, but I will surely buy it from you for a price, for (B)I will not offer burnt offerings to Yahweh my God [a]which cost me nothing.” So (C)David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty [b]shekels of silver. 25 Then David built there an altar to Yahweh and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. (D)Thus Yahweh was moved by the entreaty for the land, and the plague was checked from being upon Israel.
