1 Chronicles 21:24-25

21:24 King David replied to Ornan, “No, I insist on buying it for top price. I will not offer to the Lord what belongs to you or offer a burnt sacrifice that cost me nothing. 21:25 So David bought the place from Ornan for 600 pieces of gold.

tn Heb “No, for buying I will buy for full silver.” The infinitive absolute precedes the finite verb for emphasis.

tc The parallel text in 2 Sam 24:24 has the plural “burnt sacrifices.”

tn Or “without [paying] compensation.”

tc The parallel text of 2 Sam 24:24 says David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for “fifty pieces of silver.” This would have been about 20 ounces (568 grams) of silver by weight.
