1 Chronicles 21:25

gave … for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight In 2 Samuel 24:24, bought the threshing floor and the oxen for money, even fifty shekels(so to be rendered).

A large discrepancy appears here between Chron. and 2 Sam. The former seems to say that 600 shekels were paid for the threshing floor alone, the latter that only 50 shekels were paid for the floor and oxen taken together. But the text of 2 Sam. is probably corrupt and should perhaps run, bought the threshing floor for money, even six hundred shekels, and the oxen for money, even fifty shekels. The "threshing floor" seems to have included the Temple Mount (1 Chronicles 22:1), and we may compare the 600 shekels paid for it with the 400 paid by Abraham for the cave and field of Machpelah (Genesis 23:15-17). In describing the 600 shekels as shekels of goldthe Chronicler perhaps goes beyond his authority, for the sum then becomes improbably large.
