"And the kingª saidª° unto¹ Araunah,ª Nay;¹ but¹ I will surely²° buyª° [it] of¹¹ thee at a price:ª neither¹ will I offerª° burnt offeringsª unto the LORDª my Godª of that which¹ doth cost me nothing.ª So Davidª boughtª°¹ the threshingfloorª and the oxenª for fiftyª shekelsª of silver.ª ... And Davidª builtª° there¹ an altarª unto the LORD,ª and offeredª° burnt offeringsª and peace offerings.ª So the LORDª was intreatedª° for the land,ª and the plagueª was stayedª° from¹¹ Israel.ª" {2Sm 24:24-25} |
