25. So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight.
26. And David built there an altar to 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.
27. And the LORD commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into its sheath.
28. At that time when David saw that the LORD had answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
29. For the tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt-offering, were at that season in the high place at Gibeon.
30. But David could not go before it to inquire of God: for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the LORD.
