Context
21:21 When David came to Ornan , Ornan looked and saw David ; he came out from the threshing floor and bowed to David with his face to the ground .
21:22 David said to Ornan , “Sell me the threshing floor so I can build on it an altar for the Lord – I’ll pay top price – so that the plague may be removed from the people .”
21:23 Ornan told David , “You can have it! My master , the king , may do what he wants . Look , I am giving you the oxen for burnt sacrifices , the threshing sledges for wood , and the wheat for an offering . I give it all to you.”
21:24 King David replied to Ornan , “No , I insist on buying it for top price . I will not offer to the Lord what belongs to you or offer a burnt sacrifice that cost me nothing .
21:25 So David bought the place from Ornan for 600 pieces of gold .
21:26 David built there an altar to the Lord and offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings . He called out to the Lord , and the Lord responded by sending fire from the sky and consuming the burnt sacrifice on the altar .
21:27 The Lord ordered the messenger to put his sword back into its sheath .
21:28 At that time , when David saw that the Lord responded to him at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite , he sacrificed there .
21:29 Now the Lord’s tabernacle (which Moses had made in the wilderness ) and the altar for burnt sacrifices were at that time at the worship center in Gibeon .
21:30 But David could not go before it to seek God’s will, for he was afraid of the sword of the Lord’s messenger .
