Worship Involves Personal Cost
Despite Ornan's generous offer to give the land and supplies for free, David insisted on paying the "full price." Commentators like Spurgeon highlight David's reasoning from the following verses: "I will not take that which is yours for the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings without cost." This establishes a powerful principle that true worship and giving involve personal sacrifice, not just what is convenient or free.
