1 Chronicles 21:23-25

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²³ Ornan said to David, “Take it! My lord the king may do whatever he wants.^[a] See, I give the oxen for the burnt offerings, the threshing sledges for the wood, and the wheat for the grain offering—I give it all.”

²⁴ King David answered Ornan, “No, I insist on paying the full price, for I will not take for the Lord what belongs to you or offer burnt offerings that cost me nothing.”

²⁵ So David gave Ornan 15 pounds of gold^[b] for the plot.
