2 Samuel 24:22-24

International Children’s Bible

²² Araunah said to David, “My master and king, you may take anything you want for a sacrifice. Here are some oxen for the whole burnt offering. Here are the threshing boards and the yokes for the wood! ²³ My king, I give everything to you!” Araunah also said to the king, “May the Lord your God be pleased with you!”

²⁴ But the king answered Araunah, “No. I will pay you for the land. I won’t offer to the Lord my God burnt offerings which cost me nothing!”

So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for one and one-fourth pounds of silver.
