David Builds an Altar

David Builds an Altar

18Now the angel of Yahweh had spoken to Gad to say to David that David should go up and erect an altar for Yahweh. 19So David went up at the word of Gad that he had spoken in the name of Yahweh. 20Now Ornan was threshing wheat, and Ornan turned and saw the angel, and his four sons with him hid themselves. 21Then David came to Ornan, and Ornan looked and saw David. And he went out from the threshing floor, and they bowed down to David, faces to the ground. 22Then David said to Ornan, “Please give me the place, the threshing floor, that I might build an altar on it to Yahweh; at full price please give it to me, that the plague against the people might be stopped.” 23And Ornan said to David, “Take it to yourself; let my lord the king do what is good in his eyes. See, I give the cattle for the burnt offerings and threshing sledges for the wood and wheat for the grain offering—I give it all.” 24But King David said to Ornan, “No, for I will certainly buy it at full value; indeed, I will not take what is yours for Yahweh and offer burnt offerings for nothing.” 25So David gave to Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place. 26Then David built an altar there to Yahweh, and he offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and he called to Yahweh. And he answered him with fire from heaven upon the altar of burnt offering. 27Then Yahweh commanded the angel, and he returned his sword to its sheath.

28At that time, when David saw that Yahweh answered him at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he sacrificed there. 29Now the tabernacle of Yahweh that Moses had made in the desert and the altar of burnt offering were at that time at the high place of Gibeon. 30But David was not able to go before it to seek God, for he was afraid on account of the sword of the angel of Yahweh.

22Then David said, “This will be the house of Yahweh God, and this altar of burnt offering for Israel.”
