  • 2 Sam 24:11 : 11 For when David arose in the morning, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,
  • 1 Chr 21:18-30 : 18 Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David that David should go up and build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. 19 And David went up at the word of Gad, which he spoke in the name of the LORD. 20 And Ornan turned and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat. 21 As David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out from the threshing floor, and bowed to David with his face to the ground. 22 Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of this threshing floor, that I may build an altar there to the LORD; you shall grant it to me for the full price: that the plague may be stopped from the people. 23 And Ornan said to David, Take it for yourself, and let my lord the king do what is good in his eyes: see, I give the oxen also for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the grain offering; I give it all. 24 But King David said to Ornan, No; but I will buy it for the full price: for I will not take what is yours for the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings without cost. 25 So David gave to Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place. 26 And David built there an altar to 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. 27 And the LORD commanded the angel; and he put his sword back into its sheath. 28 At that time when David saw that the LORD had answered him in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he sacrificed there. 29 For the tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon. 30 But David could not go before it to inquire of God; for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the LORD.
