22 And Araunah said to David: “May my lord the king offer and accept whatever is pleasing to him. You have oxen for a holocaust, and the cart and the yokes of the oxen to use for wood.” 23 All these things Araunah gave, as a king to a king. And Araunah said to the king, “May the Lord your God accept your vow.” 24 And in response, the king said to him: “It shall not be as you wish. Instead, I will purchase it from you at a price. For I will not offer to the Lord, my God, holocausts that cost nothing.” Therefore, David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. 2 Samuel 24:22-24, Catholic Public Domain Version.
