25 Then David gave Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the site.
26 David built an altar there for the Lord and offered entirely burned offerings and well-being sacrifices. He called on the Lord, who answered him with fire from heaven on the altar of the entirely burned offering, consuming the entirely burned offering.
27 Then the Lord commanded the messenger to return his sword to its sheath.
28 At that time, after David saw that the Lord had answered him at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he offered sacrifices there.
29 The Lord’s dwelling that Moses had made in the desert and the altar for entirely burned offerings were then at the shrine in Gibeon,
30 but David couldn’t go there to seek God because he feared the sword of the Lord’s messenger.
