1 Chronicles 21:27-30 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

27. And Jehovah saith to the messenger, and he turneth back his sword unto its sheath.

28. At that time when David seeth that Jehovah hath answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificeth there;

29. and the tabernacle of Jehovah that Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt-offering, [are] at that time in a high place, in Gibeon;

30. and David is not able to go before it to seek God, for he hath been afraid because of the sword of the messenger of Jehovah.
