23. And 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.”
24. But 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.”
25. So David gave to Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place.
26. Then 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.
27. Then Yahweh commanded the angel, and he returned his sword to its sheath.
28. At that time, when David saw that Yahweh answered him at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he sacrificed there.
29. Now 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.
