1 Chronicles 21:18-28
18Then the angelH4397 of Jehovah commanded GadH1410 to sayH559 to DavidH1732, that DavidH1732 should goH5927 up, and rear an altarH4196 unto Jehovah in the threshing-floor of OrnanH771 the JebusiteH2983. 19And DavidH1732 wentH5927 up at the saying of GadH1410, which he spake in the nameH8034 of Jehovah. 20And OrnanH771 turnedH7725 backH7725, and sawH7200 the angelH4397; and his fourH702 sonsH1121 that were with him hidH2244 themselves. Now OrnanH771 was threshingH1758 wheatH2406. 21And as DavidH1732 cameH935 to OrnanH771, OrnanH771 lookedH7200 and sawH7200 DavidH1732, and wentH3318 out of the threshing-floor, and bowedH7812 himself to DavidH1732 with his faceH639 to the groundH776. 22Then DavidH1732 saidH559 to OrnanH771, GiveH5414 me the placeH4725 of this threshing-floor, that I may buildH1129 thereon an altarH4196 unto Jehovah: for the fullH4392 price shalt thou giveH5414 it me, that the plagueH4046 may be stayed from the peopleH5971. 23And OrnanH771 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, TakeH3947 it to thee, and let my lordH113 the kingH4428 do that which is goodH2896 in his eyesH5869: lo, I giveH5414 thee the oxenH1241 for burnt-offerings, and the threshing instruments for woodH6086, and the wheatH2406 for the meal-offering; I giveH5414 it all. 24And kingH4428 DavidH1732 saidH559 to OrnanH771, Nay; but I will verily buyH7069 it for the fullH4392 price: for I will not takeH5375 that which is thine for Jehovah, nor offerH5927 a burnt-offering without cost. 25So DavidH1732 gaveH5414 to OrnanH771 for the placeH4725 sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of goldH2091 by weightH4948. 26And DavidH1732 builtH1129 there an altarH4196 unto Jehovah, and offeredH5927 burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and calledH7121 upon Jehovah; and he answeredH6030 him from heavenH8064 by fireH784 upon the altarH4196 of burnt-offering. 27And Jehovah commanded the angelH4397; and he put up his swordH2719 again into the sheath thereof.
28At that timeH6256, when DavidH1732 sawH7200 that Jehovah had answeredH6030 him in the threshing-floor of OrnanH771 the JebusiteH2983, then he sacrificedH2076 there.
