2 Samuel 24:22-24
GOD’S WORD Translation
22 Araunah said to David, “Take it, Your Majesty, and offer whatever you think is right. There are oxen for the burnt offering, and there are threshers and oxen yokes [a] for firewood.” 23 All this Araunah gave to the king and said, “May the Lord your God accept you.”
24 “No!” the king said to Araunah. “I must buy it from you at a ⌞fair⌟ price. I won’t offer the Lord my God burnt sacrifices that cost me nothing.”
So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for 1¼ pounds of silver.
