2 Samuel 24:24-25

New American Standard Bible 1995

²⁴ However, the king said to Araunah, “No, but I will surely buy it from you for a price, for ^(A)I will not offer burnt offerings to the Lord my God ^[a]which cost me nothing.” So ^(B)David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. ²⁵ David built there an altar to the Lord and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. ^(C)Thus the Lord was moved by prayer for the land, and the plague was held back from Israel.
