2 Samuel 19:42 And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, Because the king is near of kin to us; wherefore then be ye angry for this matter? have we eaten at all of the king's
cost? or hath he given us any gift?
2 Samuel 24:24 And the king said unto Arunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price; neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the Lord my God of that which doth
cost me nothing. So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
Luke 14:29 For which of you intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the
cost, whether he have money to finish his work?
DC 113:6b and the reader in every nation, will be reminded that the "Book of Mormon" and this Book of Doctrine and Covenants of the church,
cost the best blood of the nineteenth century, to bring it forth for the salvation of a ruined world.
