He said, “Why has my master the king come to me?” David answered, “To buy the threshing floor from you so I can build an altar to the LORD. Then the terrible disease will stop.” Araunah said to David, “My master and king, you may take anything you want for a sacrifice. Here are some oxen for the whole burnt offering and the threshing boards and the yokes for the wood. My king, I give everything to you.” Araunah also said to the king, “May the LORD your God be pleased with you.” But the king answered Araunah, “No, I will pay you for the land. 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 one and one-fourth pounds of silver.
