21 When David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David; he came out from the threshing floor and bowed to David with his face to the ground.
22 David said to Ornan,“Sell me the threshing floor so I can build on it an altar for the LORD– I’ll pay top price– so that the plague may be removed from the people.”
23 Ornan told David,“You can have it! My master, the king, may do what he wants. Look, I am giving you the oxen for burnt sacrifices, the threshing sledges for wood, and the wheat for an offering. I give it all to you.”
24 King David replied to Ornan,“No, I insist on buying it for top price. I will not offer to the LORD what belongs to you or offer a burnt sacrifice that cost me nothing.
25 So David bought the place from Ornan for 600 pieces of gold.
26 David built there an altar to the LORD and offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings. He called out to the LORD, and the LORD responded by sending fire from the sky and consuming the burnt sacrifice on the altar.

20 When Araunah looked out and saw the king and his servants approaching him, he went out and bowed to the king with his face to the ground.
21 Araunah said,“Why has my lord the king come to his servant?” David replied,“To buy from you the threshing floor so I can build an altar for the LORD, so that the plague may be removed from the people.”
22 Araunah told David,“My lord the king may take whatever he wishes and offer it. Look! Here are oxen for burnt offerings, and threshing sledges and harnesses for wood.
23 I, the servant of my lord the king, give it all to the king!” Araunah also told the king,“May the LORD your God show you favor!”
24 But the king said to Araunah,“No, I insist on buying it from you! I will not offer to the LORD my God burnt sacrifices that cost me nothing.”So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty pieces of silver.
25 Then David built an altar for the LORD there and offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings. And the LORD accepted prayers for the land, and the plague was removed from Israel.
