24 And King David says to Ornan, “No, for I surely buy [it] for full price; for I do not lift up that which is yours to YHWH, so as to offer a burnt-offering without cost.” 25 And David gives to Ornan six hundred shekels of gold [in] weight for the place; 26 and David builds an altar to YHWH there, and offers burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and calls to YHWH, and He answers him from the heavens with fire on the altar of the burnt-offering. 27 And YHWH speaks to the messenger, and he turns back his sword to its sheath. 28 At that time, when David sees that YHWH has answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrifices there; 29 and the Dwelling Place of YHWH that Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt-offering, [are] at that time at a high place in Gibeon; 30 and David is not able to go before it to seek God, for he has been afraid because of the sword of the messenger of YHWH. 1 Chronicles 21:24-30, Literal Standard Version.
