25. And David giveth to Ornan for the place shekels of gold [in] weight six hundred;
26. and David buildeth there an altar to Jehovah, and offereth burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and calleth unto Jehovah, and He answereth him with fire from the heavens on the altar of the burnt-offering.
27. And Jehovah saith to the messenger, and he turneth back his sword unto its sheath.
28. At that time when David seeth that Jehovah hath answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificeth there;
29. and the tabernacle of Jehovah that Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt-offering, [are] at that time in a high place, in Gibeon;
30. and David is not able to go before it to seek God, for he hath been afraid because of the sword of the messenger of Jehovah.
