And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take that which is thine for the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings without cost.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 24 is found in chapter 21 of 1 Chronicles. David builds an altar on the threshing floor of Ornan and offers sacrifices. The site gains decisive importance because it will later be associated with the temple. Ornan offers to give the land freely, but David insists on paying for it, declaring that he will not offer God something that costs him nothing. The scene connects repentance, sacrifice, and preparation for the future sanctuary.
