25. So David paid Araunah six hundred gold coins for his threshing place.
26. David built an altar and offered sacrifices to please the Lord and sacrifices to ask his blessing. David prayed, and the Lord answered him by sending fire down on the altar.
27. Then the Lord commanded the angel to put the sword away.
28. When David saw that the Lord had answered his prayer, he offered more sacrifices there at the threshing place,
29-30. because he was afraid of the angel's sword and did not want to go all the way to Gibeon. That's where the sacred tent that Moses had made in the desert was kept, as well as the altar where sacrifices were offered to the Lord.
