1 Chronicles 21:24-26
Evangelical Heritage Version
24 David said to Ornan, “No. I am determined to buy it for the full price, because I will not take what belongs to you for the Lord and for burnt offerings without paying for it.”
25 So David weighed out six hundred shekels[a] of gold to Ornan for the site.
26 Then David built an altar to the Lord there, and he offered burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. He called to the Lord, and the Lord answered him with fire from heaven upon the altar for burnt offerings.
