1 Chronicles 21:24-26

Modern English Version

²⁴ Then King David said to Ornan, “No, for I will surely acquire it for the full price, for I will not take what is yours for the Lord nor offer burnt offerings that cost me nothing.”

²⁵ So David gave Ornan six hundred shekels^[a] of gold by weight for the site, ²⁶ and David built there an altar to the Lord and offered up burnt offerings and peace offerings. He called on the Lord, and the Lord answered him by fire from heaven on the altar of burnt offering.
