A Royal Heart of Generosity
Commentators like Charles Spurgeon highlight the incredible generosity of Ornan. He offers not just the land but everything needed for the sacrifice: the oxen, the wooden tools for fuel, and the wheat for the offering. Spurgeon suggests Ornan, possibly a former king, showed a 'royal heart' by giving so freely to David for the Lord's work, providing a powerful example of sacrificial giving.
