וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל־אֲרַוְנָה לֹא כִּֽי־קָנוֹ אֶקְנֶה מֵאֽוֹתְךָ בִּמְחִיר וְלֹא אַעֲלֶה לַיהֹוָה אֱלֹהַי עֹלוֹת חִנָּם וַיִּקֶן דָּוִד אֶת־הַגֹּרֶן וְאֶת־הַבָּקָר בְּכֶסֶף שְׁקָלִים חֲמִשִּֽׁים׃
The king said to Aravnoh, "No, I [want] to buy them from you for their value, and I will not offer to Adonoy, my God burnt offerings [obtained] for free." Dovid bought the threshing floor and the cattle for fifty silver shekolim.

Rashi
שקלים חמשים. ובדברי הימים (שם פסוק כה) הוא אומר, שקלי זהב משקל שש מאות, הא כיצד, גבה חמשים שקלים כסף מכל שבט ושבט, הרי שש מאות, ונתן לו כסף בדמי הזהב וכן שנינו בסוף שחיטת קדשים (זבחים קטז ב): גבה כסף בשש מאות כסף בשקלי זהב. וכן שנינו בספרי. חסלת ספר שמואל:
Fifty shekolim. [But] in Divrei Hayomim25Divrei Hayomim I, 21:25. it says, "Golden Shekolim weighing six hundred," how is this possible? [The answer is] he collected fifty silver shekolim from each tribe that is [a total of] six hundred26 and he gave him an amount of silver that had the value of [six hundred] gold [shekolim]. We also are taught this in the end of Zevochim,27 "He collected an amount of silver that had a value of six hundred gold shekolim, and we also learned this in the Sifri.28Re’eh, 10.
וַיִּבֶן שָׁם דָּוִד מִזְבֵּחַ לַיהֹוָה וַיַּעַל עֹלוֹת וּשְׁלָמִים וַיֵּעָתֵר יְהֹוָה לָאָרֶץ וַתֵּעָצַר הַמַּגֵּפָה מֵעַל יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Dovid built an altar to Adonoy there and he offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. Adonoy was entreated of the land [people] The plague ceased from [the people of] Yisroel.
