Majestic splendor emanates from him, ¹  he is the source of strength and joy. ² 

David constructed buildings in the City of David; he then prepared a place for the ark of God and pitched a tent for it.

So David bought the place from Ornan for 600 pieces of gold. ¹ 

David was angry because the Lord attacked Uzzah; ¹  so he called that place Perez Uzzah, ²  which remains its name to this very day.

David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem ¹  to bring the ark of the Lord up to the place he had prepared for it.

I will establish a place for my people Israel and settle ¹  them there; they will live there and not be disturbed ²  anymore. Violent men will not oppress them again, as they did in the beginning ³ 

So they marched against Baal Perazim and David defeated them there. David said, “Using me as his instrument, ¹  God has burst out against my enemies like water bursts out.” So that place is called Baal Perazim. ² 

David said to Ornan, “Sell me the threshing floor ¹  so I can build ²  on it an altar for the Lord – I’ll pay top price ³  – so that the plague may be removed ⁴  from the people.”
