Then David said to Ornan, “Sell me the place of this threshing floor, that I may build an altar to the LORD on it. You shall sell it to me for the full price, that the plague may be stopped from afflicting the people.”

In context
19 So David went up, according to the word of Gad, which he spake in the name of Yahweh.
20 And Ornan turned, and saw the messenger, but, his four sons with him, were hiding themselves,—now, Ornan, had been threshing wheat.
21 Then came David unto Ornan,—and Ornan looked, and saw David, and went forth out of the threshing-floor, and bowed himself unto David, with his face to the ground.
22 And David said unto Ornan, Grant me the place of the threshing-floor, that I may build thereon an altar, unto Yahweh,—for silver in full, shalt thou grant it me, that the plague may be stayed from off the people.
23 And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do what is good in his own eyes,—see! I have given the oxen for ascending-sacrifices, and, the threshing implements for wood, and the wheat for a meal-offering,—the whole, have I given.
24 Then said King David to Ornan, Nay! but I will, surely buy, it for silver in full,—for I will not take that which is thine for Yahweh, nor offer an ascending-sacrifice that hath cost me nothing.
25 So David gave to Ornan, for the place,—shekels of gold, by weight, six hundred.
