20And Ornan turned and saw the king; and he hid himself and his four sons with him. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
21And David came to Ornan; and Ornan came forth from the threshing floor, and did obeisance to David with his face to the ground.
— 1 Chronicles 21:22 —
23And Ornan said to David, Take it to thyself, and let my lord the king do what is right in his eyes: see, I have given the calves for a whole burnt offering, and the plow for wood, and the corn for a meat offering; I have given all.
24And King David said to Ornan, Nay; for I will surely buy it for its worth in money: for I will not take thy property for the Lord, to offer a whole burnt offering to the Lord without cost to myself.
