22 Then David said to Ornan, |Give me the place of this threshing floor, that I may build thereon an altar to the LORD. You shall sell it to me for the full price, that the plague may be stopped from afflicting the people.| 23 Ornan said to David, |Take it for yourself, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes. Look, I give the oxen for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal offering. I give it all.| 24 King David said to Ornan, |No; but I will most certainly buy it for the full price. For I will not take that which is yours for the LORD, nor offer a burnt offering without cost.| 25 So David gave to Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place. 1 Chronicles 21:22-25, New Heart English Bible.
