2 Samuel 24:23

David And The Census Of The People

²² Araunah said to David, “My lord the king may take whatever he wants and offer it. Here are the oxen for a burnt offering and the threshing sledges and ox yokes for the wood. ²³ My king, Araunah gives everything here to the king.” Then he said to the king, “May the Lord your God accept you.” ²⁴ The king answered Araunah, “No, I insist on buying it from you for a price, for I will not offer to the Lord my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing.” David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for 20 ounces of silver.
