2 Samuel 6:17
6:17 They brought the ark of the
Lord and put it in its place
1 in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it. Then David offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before the
Lord.
2 Samuel 24:24
24:24 But the king said to Araunah, “No, I insist on buying it from you! I will not offer to the
Lord my God burnt sacrifices that cost me nothing.”
So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty pieces of silver. 2
1 tc The Syriac Peshitta lacks “in its place.”
2 tn Heb “fifty shekels of silver.” This would have been about 20 ounces (568 grams) of silver by weight.
