24. King David said to Ornan, “No; but I will most certainly buy it for the full price. For I will not take that which is yours for the Lord, nor offer a burnt offering that costs me nothing.”
25. So David gave to Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place.
26. David built an altar to the Lord there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called on the Lord; and he answered him from the sky by fire on the altar of burnt offering.
