20 And when Orna looked out, and saw the king and his servants coming up to him, he went out and bowed down to the king, with his face to the ground,
21 and said, Why is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To purchase of thee this threshing floor to build an altar to the Lord, that the slaughter among the people may be stayed.
22 Then Orna said to David, Let my lord the king take, and offer to the Lord what is agreeable to him. Behold here are cattle for a whole burnt offering, and the carts and the yokes of the cattle for fuel.
23 All these Orna hath given to the king. And may the Lord thy God, said Orna addressing the king, bless thee.
24 But the king said to Orna, No. Let me only purchase them of thee for their full value; for I cannot offer to the Lord my God a whole burnt offering which costeth me nothing. So David purchased the threshing floor, and the cattle, for fifty shekels of silver.
