1 Chronicles 21:24

21:24 King David replied to Ornan, “No, I insist on buying it for top price. ¹  I will not offer to the Lord what belongs to you or offer a burnt sacrifice ²  that cost me nothing. ³ 

[21:24]  ¹ tn Heb “No, for buying I will buy for full silver.” The infinitive absolute precedes the finite verb for emphasis.

[21:24]  ² tc The parallel text in 2 Sam 24:24 has the plural “burnt sacrifices.”

[21:24]  ³ tn Or “without [paying] compensation.”
