23 And Ornan said unto David, “Take it to thee, and let my -lord the king do that which is xgood in his eyes: slo, I give thee the oxen also for «burnt_ offerings,and the threshing_instruments for =wood, and the wheat for the 7 meat_ offering ; I give it all.”
24 And xking 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 Lorn, nor offer «a burnt_offerings without_cost.”
