2 Samuel 24:24
24But the king said to Araunah, “No, but I will buy it from you for a price. I will not offer burnt offerings to the Lord my God that cost me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels ▼▼A shekel was about 2/5 ounce or 11 grams
of silver. 1 Chronicles 21:24-25
24But King David said to Ornan, “No, but I will buy them for the full price. I will not take for the Lord what is yours, nor offer burnt offerings that cost me nothing.” 25So David paid Ornan b600 shekels ▼▼A shekel was about 2/5 ounce or 11 grams
of gold by weight for the site.
