1 Chronicles
Chapters 21:25-30
Revised Version 1885
25So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight.
26And David built there an altar unto the Lord, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon the Lord; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering.
27And the Lord commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof.
28At that time, when David saw that the Lord had answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
29For the tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.
30But David could not go before it to inquire of God: for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the Lord.
