2 Samuel 24:18-25 - David's Altar
18 Gad came to David and said: Go, set up an altar for Jehovah at Araunah the Jebusite's threshing floor. 19 David obeyed Jehovah's command and went as Gad had told him to. 20 Araunah saw David and his soldiers coming toward him. He went over to David and bowed down low,
21 and said: My lord the king! Why have you come to see me? David answered: I came to buy your threshing place. I have to build Jehovah an altar here, so this disease will stop killing the people.
22 Araunah said: Take what you want and offer your sacrifice. Here are some cattle for the sacrifice. You can use the threshing-boards and the wooden yokes for the fire. 23 Araunah gave this to the king and said: May Jehovah your God accept you.
24 No! The king said to Araunah. I must buy it from you at a fair price. I will not offer Jehovah my God burnt sacrifices that cost me nothing. So David bought the threshing floor and the cattle for one and one quarter pounds of silver. 25 David built an altar for Jehovah there and sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. So Jehovah heard the prayers for the country. The plague on Israel stopped.
