1 Chronicles 21:24-26

Easy-to-Read Version

²⁴ But King David answered Araunah, “No, I will pay you the full price. I will not take anything that is yours and give it to the Lord. I will not give offerings that cost me nothing.”

²⁵ So David gave Araunah about 15 pounds^[a] of gold for the place. ²⁶ David built an altar for worshiping the Lord there. David offered burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. He prayed to the Lord. The Lord answered David by sending fire down from heaven. The fire came down on the altar of burnt offering.
