Exegesis
The paired negations lōʾ kî-qānōh ʾĕqnēh {לֹא כִּי־קָנֹה אֶקְנֶה | lōʾ kî-qānōh ʾĕqnēh} create an emphatic refusal by combining the infinitive construct qānōh with the imperfect ʾĕqnēh for deliberative force.
In context — 1 Chronicles 21:24
But King David said to Ornan, “No, rather I will buy it for the full price with silver; for I will not offer what is yours to the LORD , nor offer up a burnt offering for nothing.”
