1 Chronicles 21:18-30

18Then the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 orderedH559H413 GadH1410 to tellH559 DavidH1732H3588 to go upH5927H1732 and buildH6965 an altarH4196 to the LORDH3068 on the threshing floorH1637 of OrnanH771 the JebusiteH2983. 19So DavidH1732 went upH5927 at the wordH1697 that GadH1410 had spokenH1696 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.

20Now OrnanH771 was threshingH1758 wheatH2406 when heH771 turnedH7725 and sawH7200 the angelH4397; and his fourH702 sonsH1121 who were with himH5973 hid themselvesH2244. 21DavidH1732 cameH935 toH5704 OrnanH771, and when OrnanH771 looked outH5027 and sawH7200 DavidH1732, he leftH3318H4480 the threshing floorH1637 and bowedH7812 facedownH639H776 before DavidH1732.

22Then DavidH1732 saidH559 toH413 OrnanH771, “GrantH5414 me the siteH4725 of this threshing floorH1637, that I may buildH1129 an altarH4196 to the LORDH3068. Sell itH5414 to me for the fullH4392 priceH3701, so that the plagueH4046 uponH5921 the peopleH5971 may be haltedH6113.”

23OrnanH771 saidH559 toH413 DavidH1732, “TakeH3947 it! May my lordH113 the kingH4428 doH6213 whatever seems goodH2896 to himH5869. LookH7200, I will giveH5414 the oxenH1241 for the burnt offeringsH5930, the threshing sledgesH4173 for the woodH6086, and the wheatH2406 for the grain offeringH4503—I will giveH5414 it allH3605.”

24“NoH3808,” repliedH559 KingH4428 DavidH1732, “I insist on payingH7069 the fullH4392 priceH3701, forH3588 I will notH3808 takeH5375 for the LORDH3068 whatH834 belongs to you, nor will I offerH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 that cost me nothingH2600.”

25So DavidH1732 paidH5414 OrnanH771 sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of goldH2091H49481 for the siteH4725. 26AndH1732 thereH8033 he builtH1129 an altarH4196 to the LORDH3068 and offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 and peace offeringsH8002. He calledH7121 uponH413 the LORDH3068, who answered himH6030 with fireH784 fromH4480 heavenH8064 onH5921 the altarH4196 of burnt offeringH5930.

27Then the LORDH3068 spokeH559 to the angelH4397, who put his swordH2719 backH7725 intoH413 its sheathH5084.

28At thatH1931 timeH6256, when DavidH1732 sawH7200 thatH3588 the LORDH3068 had answered himH6030 at the threshing floorH1637 of OrnanH771 the JebusiteH2983, he offered sacrificesH2076 thereH8033. 29For the tabernacleH4908 of the LORDH3068 thatH834 MosesH4872 had madeH6213 in the wildernessH4057 and the altarH4196 of burnt offeringH5930 were presentlyH6256H1931 at the high placeH1116 in GibeonH1391, 30but DavidH1732 couldH3201 notH3808 goH1980 before itH6440 to inquireH1875 of GodH430, becauseH3588 he was afraidH1204 ofH6440 the swordH2719 of the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068.
