Nay.
Genesis 14:23; Genesis 23:13; Deuteronomy 16:16; Deuteronomy 16:17; Malachi 1:12-14; Romans 12:17
for I will not.It is a maxim from heaven, "Honour the Lord with thy substance." He who has a religion that costs him nothing, has a religion that is worth nothing; nor will any man esteem the ordinances of God, if those ordinances cost him nothing. Had Araunah's noble offer been accepted, it would have been Araunah's sacrifice, not David's; nor would it have answered the end of turning away the displeasure of the Most High. It was David that sinned, not Araunah; therefore David must offer sacrifice.
