24King David said to Ornan, No; but I will most assuredly buy it for the full price: for I will not take that which is your for Yahweh, nor offer a burnt-offering without cost.
25So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight.
26David built there an altar to Yahweh, and offered burnt offerings and peace-offerings, and called on Yahweh; and he answered him from the sky by fire on the altar of burnt offering.
27Yahweh commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath of it.
28At that time, when David saw that Yahweh had answered him in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
29For the tent of Yahweh, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.
30But David couldn`t go before it to inquire of God; for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of Yahweh.
