22 David told Ornan, |Give me the threshing floor as a site to build an altar to the LORD on it. Give it to me at its full price, so the plague may be averted from the people.| 23 But Ornan replied to David, |Take it! Let your majesty the king do whatever seems like a good idea to him. Look here! I'm giving the oxen for burnt offerings, the threshing machinery for the wood, and the wheat for a grain offering. I'm giving all of it.| 24 But King David told Ornan, |No. I will buy them for the full price because I will not offer to the LORD what is yours or offer burnt offerings that cost me nothing.| 25 So David paid Ornan 600 shekels weight worth in gold for the site, 1 Chronicles 21:22-25, Intl.
