LXX2012(i)
18 And the angel of the Lord told Gad to tell David, that he should go up to erect and altar to the Lord, in the threshing floor of Orna the Jebusite.
19 And David went up according to the word of Gad, which he spoke in the name of the Lord.
20 And Orna turned and saw the king; and he hid himself and his four sons with him. Now Orna was threshing wheat.
21 And David came to Orna; and Orna came forth from the threshing floor, and did obeisance to David with his face to the ground.
22 And David said to Orna, Give me your place of the threshing floor, and I will build upon it an altar to the Lord: give it me for its worth in money, and the plague shall cease from [among] the people.
23 And Orna said to David, Take it to yourself, and let my lord the king do what is right in his eyes: see, I have given the calves for a whole burnt offering, and the plow for wood, and the corn for a meat-offering; I have given all.
24 And king David said to Orna, Nay; for I will surely buy it for its worth in money: for I will not take your property for the Lord, to offer a whole burnt offering to the Lord without cost [to myself].
25 And David gave to Orna for his place six hundred shekels of gold [by] weight.
26 And David built there an altar to the Lord, and offered up whole burnt offerings and peace-offerings: and he cried to the Lord, and he answered him by fire out of heaven on the altar of whole burnt offerings, and [it] consumed the whole burnt offering.
27 And the Lord spoke to the angel; and he put up the sword into its sheath.
28 At that time when David saw that the Lord answered him in the threshing floor of Orna the Jebusite, he also sacrificed there.
29 And the tabernacle of the Lord which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of whole burnt offerings, [were] at that time in the high place at Gabaon.
30 And David could not go before it to enquire of God; for he hasted not because of the sword of the angel of the Lord.
