He spoke to `Efron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, *But if you will, please hear me. I will give the price of the field. Take it from me, and I will bury my dead there.*
The king said to Aravna, No; but I will most certainly buy it of you at a price. Neither will I offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God which cost me nothing. So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Yeshua, that he himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'*
Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, *I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.*
