Here are oxen for a burnt offering, along with the threshing sledges and yokes from the oxen for wood! 23 Your majesty, Araunah gives all of this to the king.| Araunah also told the king, |May the LORD your God be pleased with you!| 24 |No!| the king replied to Araunah. |I will buy them from you at full price. I won't offer to the LORD my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing.| So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for 50 silver shekels, 2 Samuel 24:21-24, Intl. Standard Version.
