Context — David Builds an Altar

22Then David said to Ornan, “Grant me the site of this threshing floor, that I may build an altar to the LORD. Sell it to me for the full price, so that the plague upon the people may be halted.” 23Ornan said to David, “Take it! May my lord the king do whatever seems good to him. Look, I will give the oxen for the burnt offerings, the threshing sledges for the wood, and the wheat for the grain offering—I will give it all.”

24“No,” replied King David, “I insist on paying the full price, for I will not take for the LORD what belongs to you, nor will I offer burnt offerings that cost me nothing.”

25So David paid Ornan six hundred shekels of gold for the site. 26And there he built an altar to the LORD and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. He called upon the LORD, who answered him with fire from heaven on the altar of burnt offering.

1 Chronicles 21:24 Summary

[King David wanted to make sure that his gift to God was truly a sacrifice, and not just something that didn't cost him anything. He believed that if he was going to give something to God, it should be something that meant something to him, as seen in 1 Chronicles 21:24. This is an important lesson for us today, because it reminds us that our relationship with God should be one of sacrifice and devotion, not just going through the motions (Romans 12:1). By following King David's example, we can deepen our own relationship with God and learn to give freely and generously, as encouraged in 2 Corinthians 9:7.]

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did King David insist on paying the full price for the threshing floor?

King David wanted to ensure that his offering to the LORD was truly a sacrifice, and not something that cost him nothing, as seen in 1 Chronicles 21:24, and this attitude is also reflected in other scriptures such as Psalm 50:14, which emphasizes the importance of sincere sacrifice.

What is the significance of King David's statement 'I will not take for the LORD what belongs to you'?

King David's statement highlights his understanding that true worship and sacrifice must come from a willing and generous heart, as taught in Deuteronomy 16:17, and not be taken from others or given grudgingly.

How does this verse relate to the concept of stewardship in the Bible?

This verse illustrates King David's recognition that all resources belong to God, as stated in Psalm 24:1, and that our use of these resources should reflect a sense of responsibility and accountability to Him, which is a key aspect of biblical stewardship.

What can we learn from King David's example in this verse about our own relationship with God?

We can learn the importance of putting God first and being willing to make sacrifices for Him, as King David did, and as encouraged in Romans 12:1, where we are called to offer our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God.

Reflection Questions

What are some areas in my life where I can apply King David's principle of not offering to God what costs me nothing?
How can I cultivate a heart of generosity and sacrifice in my relationship with God, as seen in King David's example?
What are some ways I can ensure that my worship and service to God are not just superficial, but come from a deep sense of devotion and commitment?
How can I balance the desire to give freely to God with the need to be responsible and wise in my stewardship of resources?

Gill's Exposition on 1 Chronicles 21:24

See Gill "1 Chronicles 21:1".

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 21:24

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. No JFB commentary on this verse.

Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 21:24

(24) For the full price.—Samuel simply, “At a price” (different word). The next clause does not appear in Samuel, but may well be original. Nor offer burnt offerings without cost.—So Samuel: “Nor will I offer to the Lord my God burnt offerings without cost.” It was of the essence of sacrifice to surrender something valued in order to win from God a greater good (Ewald).

Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 21:24

Verse 24. For the full price] That is, six hundred shekels full weight of pure gold.
