2 Samuel 24:22-24
24:22 Araunah told David, “My lord the king may take whatever he wishes
and offer it. Look! Here are oxen for burnt offerings, and threshing sledges
and harnesses
for wood.
24:23 I, the servant of my lord
the king, give it all to the king!” Araunah also told the king, “May the
Lord your God show you favor!”
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.
