But
the king said to Araunah, “No. I’ve got to buy it from
you for a good price; I’m not going to offer God, my God,
sacrifices that are no sacrifice.” So David bought the
threshing floor and the ox, paying out fifty shekels of silver. He
built an altar to God there and sacrificed burnt offerings
and peace offerings. God was moved by the prayers and that
was the end of the disaster.
