"That I will notª [take] from a threadª¹ even to¹ a shoelatchet,ªª and that I will notª takeª° any thing¹¹ that¹ [is] thine, lest¹ thou shouldest say,ª° I¹ have made²° Abram² rich:ª°¹¹" {Gen 14:23} + "And he spakeª° unto¹ Ephronª in the audienceª of the peopleª of the land,ª saying,ª° But¹ if¹ thou¹ [wilt give it], I pray thee,ª hearª° me: I will giveª° thee moneyª for the field;ª takeª° [it] of¹ me, and I will buryª°¹ my deadª° there.¹" {Gen 23:13} + "Threeª timesª in a yearª shall all¹ thy malesª appearª°¹ beforeª the LORDª thy Godª in the placeª which¹ he shall choose;ª° in the feastª of unleavened bread,ª and in the feastª of weeks,ª and in the feastª of tabernacles:ª and they shall not¹ appearª°¹ beforeª the LORDª empty:ª ...

for I will not:
It is a maxim from heaven, "Honour the Lord with thy substance." He who has a religion that costs him nothing, has a religion that is worth nothing; nor will any man esteem the ordinances of God, if those ordinances cost him nothing. Had Araunah's noble offer been accepted, it would have been Araunah's sacrifice, not David's; nor would it have answered the end of turning away the displeasure of the Most High. It was David that sinned, not Araunah; therefore David must offer sacrifice.
