six hundred shekels of gold

A discrepancy has been imagined in the two accounts, 2 Samuel 24:24; 2 Samuel 24:24; 1 Chronicles 21:25; 2 Samuel 24:24 records the price of the threshingfloor (heb. goren); 1 Chronicles 21:25 of the place (Heb. magom, lit. "home," 1 Samuel 2:20) same word or area on which afterward the great temple, with its spacious courts was built. 2 Chronicles 3:1.

David gave fifty shekels of sliver for the "goren"; six hundred shekels of gold for the "magom."
