2 Samuel 24:22-24

Revised Geneva Translation

²² Then Araunah said to David, “Let my lord the king take and offer what seems good to him in his eyes. Behold the oxen for the Burnt Offering, and chariots and the instruments of the oxen for wood.”

²³ (All these things Araunah gave to the king, as a king.) And Araunah said to the king, “The LORD your God be favorable to you.”

²⁴ Then the king said to Araunah, “Not so. But I will buy it from you at a price and will not offer Burnt Offering to the LORD my God of that which cost me nothing.” So, David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
