Context of 1 Chronicles 21:28

26And David built there an altar unto Yhwh, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon Yhwh; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering. 27And Yhwh commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof. At that time when David saw that Yhwh had answered him in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there. 29For the tabernacle of Yhwh, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt offering, were at that season in the high place at Gibeon. 30But David could not go before it to enquire of God: for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of Yhwh.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 26-30The census and plague led to dedicating Araunah’s threshing floor as the site for the new sanctuary. Normally, offerings were made at Gibeon, where the tabernacle was located (see 1 Chronicles 16:39; 21:29; 2 Chronicles 1:3). The plague stopped at the threshing floor, allowing David to make offerings there as instructed by Gad the seer (1 Chronicles 21:18). David then chose this new location for the future temple of the Lord God.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2828. when David saw that the Lord had answered him ..., he sacrificed there--or, "he continued to sacrifice there." Perceiving his sacrifice was acceptable, he proceeded to make additional offerings there, and seek favor by prayer and expiatory rites; for the dread of the menacing angel destroying Jerusalem while he was absent in the center of worship at Gibeon, especially reverence for the Divine Being, led him to continue his adorations in that place…Read the comment
