• Gen 23:8-9 : 8 He said to them, “If you are willing to let me bury my dead out of my sight, listen to me and plead with Ephron son of Zohar on my behalf. 9 Ask him to give me the cave of Machpelah, which belongs to him and is at the edge of his field. Let him sell it to me for its full price as a burial site among you.” 10 Now Ephron was sitting among the Hittites, and in the hearing of all who came to the gate of his city, Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham, saying, 11 “No, my lord! Listen to me: I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it. In the presence of my people, I give it to you. Go ahead and bury your dead.” 12 Then Abraham bowed down before the people of the land. 13 And he said to Ephron in their hearing, “Please listen to me. I am giving you the price of the field. Accept it from me so that I may bury my dead there.” 14 Ephron answered Abraham, 15 “My lord, listen to me. The land is worth four hundred shekels of silver. What is that between you and me? Go and bury your dead.” 16 Abraham agreed to Ephron's terms and weighed out the silver for him. He gave him the four hundred shekels of silver, as agreed upon in the presence of the Hittites, using the weight current among the merchants.

David asked, "What do you want me to do for you?" 5 They replied to the king, "The man who destroyed us and planned to exterminate us so that we would have no place anywhere in Israel— 6 let seven of his male descendants be handed over to us to be executed before the Lord in Gibeah of Saul, the Lord’s chosen one." The king said, "I will give them to you." 7 But the king spared Mephibosheth, son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the Lord’s oath taken between David and Jonathan, son of Saul. 8 The king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons of Rizpah daughter of Aiah, whom she had borne to Saul, together with the five sons of Michal daughter of Saul, whom she had borne to Adriel son of Barzillai the Meholathite. 9 He handed them over to the Gibeonites, who executed them on the hill before the Lord. All seven of them fell together; they were put to death during the first days of the harvest, at the beginning of the barley harvest. 10 Rizpah, daughter of Aiah, took sackcloth and spread it out for herself on a rock. From the beginning of the harvest until the rain poured down from the heavens on the bodies, she did not allow the birds of the sky to rest on them by day or the wild animals by night. 11 When David was told what Rizpah, daughter of Aiah, Saul’s concubine, had done, 12 he went and retrieved the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan from the citizens of Jabesh Gilead. (They had stolen their bodies from the public square of Beth Shan, where the Philistines had hung them after they struck Saul down on Gilboa.) 13 David brought up the bones of Saul and Jonathan, his son, from there, and they also gathered the bones of those who had been executed. 14 They buried the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan in the land of Benjamin at Zela, in the tomb of Saul's father Kish. They did everything the king commanded. After that, God responded to the prayers for the land.

He told me, 'Please buy my field at Anathoth, in the territory of Benjamin, because it is your right to redeem it and take possession of it.' At that point, I knew this was indeed the word of the LORD. 9 So I bought the field at Anathoth from my cousin Hanamel and weighed out the payment for him—seventeen shekels of silver. 10 I signed and sealed the deed, called in witnesses, and weighed out the silver on a scale. 11 I took the deed of purchase, both the sealed copy containing the terms and conditions, and the open copy. 12 Then I gave the deed of purchase to Baruch, son of Neriah, son of Mahseiah, in the presence of my cousin Hanamel, the witnesses who signed the deed, and all the Jews who were sitting in the courtyard of the guard. 13 In their presence, I gave Baruch the following instructions: 14 This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Take these deeds—both the sealed copy of the purchase deed and the open copy—and put them in a clay jar so they will last a long time.
