*
Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David ,
that David should go up ,
and set up an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite .
*
And David went up at the saying of Gad ,
which he spake in the name of the LORD .
*
And Ornan turned back ,
and saw the angel ;
and his four sons with him hid themselves .
Now Ornan was threshing wheat .
*
And as David came to Ornan ,
Ornan looked and saw David ,
and went out of the threshingfloor ,
and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground .
*
Then David said to Ornan ,
Grant me the place of this threshingfloor ,
that I may build an altar therein unto the LORD :
thou shalt grant it me for the full price :
that the plague may be stayed from the people .
*
And Ornan said unto David ,
Take it to thee ,
and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes :
lo ,
I give thee the oxen also for burnt offerings ,
and the threshing instruments for wood ,
and the wheat for the meat offering ;
I give it all .
*
And king David said to Ornan ,
Nay ;
but I will verily buy it for the full price :
for I will not take that which is thine for the LORD ,
nor offer burnt offerings without cost .
*
So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight .
*
And David built there an altar unto the LORD ,
and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings ,
and called upon the LORD ;
and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering .
*
And the LORD commanded the angel ;
and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof .
*
At that time when David saw that the LORD had answered him in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite ,
then he sacrificed there .
