1 Chronicles 21:18-30

  18 H4397 Then the messenger H3068 of the LORD H559 [H8804] commanded H1410 Gad H559 [H8800] to say H1732 to David, H1732 that David H5927 [H8799] should go up, H6965 [H8687] and raise H4196 an altar H3068 to the LORD H1637 in the threshingfloor H771 of Ornan H2983 the Jebusite.

  19 H1732 And David H5927 [H8799] went up H1697 at the saying H1410 of Gad, H1696 [H8765] which he spoke H8034 in the name H3068 of the LORD.

  20 H771 And Ornan H7725 [H8799] turned back, H7200 [H8799] and saw H4397 the messenger; H702 and his four H1121 sons H2244 [H8693] with him hid H771 themselves. Now Ornan H1758 [H8804] was threshing H2406 wheat.

  21 H1732 And as David H935 [H8799] came H771 to Ornan, H771 Ornan H5027 [H8686] looked H7200 [H8799] and saw H1732 David, H3318 [H8799] and went out H1637 of the threshingfloor, H7812 [H8691] and bowed H1732 himself to David H639 with his nose H776 to the earth.

  22 H1732 Then David H559 [H8799] said H771 to Ornan, H5414 [H8798] Give H4725 me the place H1637 of this threshingfloor, H1129 [H8799] that I may build H4196 an altar H3068 in it to the LORD: H5414 [H8798] thou shalt give H4392 it to me for the full H3701 price: H4046 that the plague H6113 [H8735] may be restrained H5971 from the people.

  23 H771 And Ornan H559 [H8799] said H1732 to David, H3947 [H8798] Take H113 it to thee, and let my sovereign H4428 the king H6213 [H8799] do H2896 that which is good H5869 in his eyes: H7200 [H8798] lo, H5414 [H8804] I give H1241 thee the oxen H5930 also for burnt offerings, H4173 and the threshing instruments H6086 for wood, H2406 and the wheat H4503 for the meat offering; H5414 [H8804] I give it all.

  24 H4428 And king H1732 David H559 [H8799] said H771 to Ornan, H7069 [H8800] Nay; but I will verily H7069 [H8799] buy H4392 it for the full H3701 price: H5375 [H8799] for I will not take H3068 that which is thine for the LORD, H5927 [H8687] nor offer H5930 burnt offerings H2600 without cost.

  25 H1732 So David H5414 [H8799] gave H771 to Ornan H4725 for the place H8337 six H3967 hundred H8255 shekels H2091 of gold H4948 by weight.

  26 H1732 And David H1129 [H8799] built H4196 there an altar H3068 to the LORD, H5927 [H8686] and offered H5930 burnt offerings H8002 and peace offerings, H7121 [H8799] and called H3068 upon the LORD; H6030 [H8799] and he answered H8064 him from heaven H784 by fire H4196 upon the altar H5930 of burnt offering.

  27 H3068 And the LORD H559 [H8799] commanded H4397 the messenger; H7725 0 and he put up H2719 his sword H7725 [H8686] again H5084 into its sheath.

  28 H6256 At that time H1732 when David H7200 [H8800] saw H3068 that the LORD H6030 [H8804] had answered H1637 him in the threshingfloor H771 of Ornan H2983 the Jebusite, H2076 [H8799] then he sacrificed there.

  29 H4908 For the tabernacle H3068 of the LORD, H4872 which Moses H6213 [H8804] made H4057 in the wilderness, H4196 and the altar H5930 of the burnt offering, H6256 were at that time H1116 in the high place H1391 at Gibeon.

  30 H1732 But David H3201 [H8804] could H3212 [H8800] not go H6440 at the face of H1875 [H8800] it to enquire H430 of God: H1204 [H8738] for he was afraid H6440 because H2719 of the sword H4397 of the messenger H3068 of the LORD.
