22 Araunah responded to David, |May your majesty the king take it and offer whatever pleases him. 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, 25 built an altar to the LORD there, and presented burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD answered David's prayers for the land and the pestilence on Israel was averted. 2 Samuel 24:22-25, Intl. Standard Version. Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.
