2 Samuel 24:22-24

New International Reader's Version

²² Araunah said to David, “Take anything you wish. Offer it up. Here are oxen for the burnt offering. Here are threshing sleds. And here are wooden collars from the necks of the oxen. Use all the wood to burn the offering. ²³ Your Majesty, I’ll give all of it to you.” Araunah continued, “And may the Lord your God accept you.”

²⁴ But the king replied to Araunah, “No. I want to pay you for it. I won’t sacrifice to the Lord my God burnt offerings that haven’t cost me anything.”

So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen. He paid 20 ounces of silver for them.
