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