(22) Then (and) David said to Oman, Grant me the place of this threshingfloor, that I may build.--Literally, Pray give me the place of the threshingfloor. Samuel, "And Araunah said Why is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To purchase from thee the threshingfloor, to build," &c.

Grant it me for the full price.--Literally, At a full price give it me. These words are not in Samuel. (Comp. Genesis 23:9--Abraham's purchase of the Cave of Machpelah.)
